Laura Scofield

Hi, I’m Laura Scofield, a Brazilian New York-based graphic designer. I’m a Design Director at The Atlantic working on projects that span branding, editorial design, web design, and events.

My work has been recognized by the Type Directors Club, Society of Publication Designers, D&AD, Cannes Lions, Red Dot, Print, iF and Brazil Design Awards. 

I also served as a jury member on the Type Directors Club, Latin American Design Award and Brazil Design Awards. I’m a visiting critic at Parsons Communication Design and former AIGA NY board member.

I also research and lecture about vexillology — the scientific study of the history, symbolism, and usage of flags, or by extension, any interest in flags in general  🏴‍☠️

Caravelas Display: a contemporary serif
typeface inspired by the elegant contrasts
of traditional expansion models such as
the Didones. With its high contrast and distinctive
teardrop terminals, Caravelas seamlessly 
blends classic sophistication with modern 
design sensibilities. This typeface is crafted to evoke a literary charm.

This project was created during the course of type design at Cooper Union in 2024.
