National first gained him international recognition, winning a Type Directors Club award in 2008.[4] His typefaces Hardys and Serrano won the same recognition in 2009.[5] Sowersby has collaborated with other notable designers, including Christian Schwartz and Erik Spiekermann in the design of FF Meta Serif.
