MVS turns 24: a retrospective Besides raising my son (now 15), I can’t think of anything to rival MVS in terms of life accomplishments. I didn’t sail the Pacific, didn’t build a house or start a foundation to help seniors, I have 0 patents… but I made MVS 🙂
My Volvo Typography trilogy is complete. These three posts describe the fonts Volvo used in and on its cars in the last 50 years. Interior labels, badges, and the Volvo logo itself… it’s all there.
New MVS t-shirts are available now! Of all the shirts I’ve made and sold over the years, Next Level were the softest so I chose them for this run. And they last… I have a few from 2021 that I’ve washed probably 60 or 80 times. Tap the button below to get yours!

QOTM
a) you look at your car and your brain tell you “thats a great looking
car and amazing piece of engineering ” cha-ching I just justified
another 1k into it.
b) you look at odometer and your brain tells you “man, we never beat
