Anuthin Wongsunkakon (

type designer and one of the founding partners of Cadson Demak, a Thai communication design firm. He began studying graphic design at Rangsit University during the time when the Thai design industry made its shift from pre-computer to computer based design. After completing his bachelor's degree he continued his studies in New York at Pratt Institute, choosing it for the city it’s in rather than for its prestigiousness or distinction.[1]

Anuthin and two of his close friends founded Cadson Demak in 2002, however, they eventually steered the company to communication and type design, which were their main services from then on.

Much of his work deals with print, logotype, and lettering, but he is best known for his contribution to

Matchbox 20, Five for Fighting, etc. Additionally, his typefaces have been employed in identities for multinational companies such as Choice Hotel Group. His work has also been published and recognized by Type Directors Club
New York.

Besides being a designer, Anuthin is known as a writer and design educator. He frequently write for several influential Thai magazines including Wallpaper* (Thai Edition) and art4d. In education, he first started his teaching career at Rangsit University, and later Bangkok University and Chulalongkorn University. Most of the articles from his controversy book on graphic design education in Thailand, Note The Norm, along with his various essays can be viewed at anuthin.org, a graphic design and typographic design archive weblog he found in 1999.[2]

In 2010, his company organized BITS (Bangkok International Typographic Symposium), the first international typographic conference to be held in Southeast Asia.[3] And the year after that, they officially established their partnership with Linotype.[4]
