Born in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, in 1959, Bosma studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. He was a product of “Gerrit Noordzij’s school of letters,” which nurtured budding Dutch designers for more than 30 years. Bosma’s contemporaries included Petr van Blokland, Lucas de Groot, Albert-Jan Pool, and Just van Rossum – all prominent names in the type community.
