designs, masters, assists, produces all things _ _ _

Previously working at Dalton Maag, I have served as a Senior Type Designer and Team Lead, taking on responsibilities similar to those of an art director. Later at Monotype, I have deepened my technical expertise in font engineering and production processes.

Since 2010, I have developed custom Indic fonts for international clients such as Nokia, HP, Intel, Linotype & Google Fonts. I have also collaborated with type foundries, design agencies and designers such as URW Type Foundry, Brody Associates, Raoul Gottschling, Anatole Type, Lineto, Pangram Pangram & The Northern Block from type design to font production via mastering.

My practice of type design is rooted in diversity; I embrace the challenge of working with a variety of writing systems. Beyond Latin, I have solid experience developing typefaces for Greek, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Bengali, Oriya and Tamil, ensuring that each project is crafted with precision and cultural respect.

Born and raised in Paris (FR), where I began my type studies, I have spent significant time in Los Angeles (US) and London (UK), before settling in Berlin (DE). I am a member of the Alphabettes and Type Crit Crew networks.
