Jean-Baptiste Levée at ESAD

Being a teacher and educator also means to promote exchange of ideas with other teachers. This March I invited Jean-Baptiste Levée, a french type designer. We met last September at ATypI Reykiavik but I knew about his work at opto.fr. He gave a workshop and lecture on the Open Week at ESAD. Here are some pictures of the lettering workshop during the morning. In the afternoon he gave a lecture about his work and how to be a type designer. It was very enriching to listen. I’m very happy that Jean-Baptiste so gracefully presented us with his insights and work. 

Cantata

Cantata is my first typeface to be out there! 

Cantata is a high contrast extended Didone style text face. This typeface was developed as a Sorkin Type foundry project. 

It is available as a Google Web Fonts to use on websites and blogs. 

Encontro Nacional de Tipografia

In late September it took place in Aveiro the 2nd Encontro Nacional de Tipografia. 

I sent a paper about my Devanagari typeface and I gave a talk about it. 

I was very happy to won the best article of the event. I also contributed with a poster of Artigo typeface. 

This event organized by the Department of Communication and Art of the University of Aveiro gathered designers and type designers, such as Petr Van Blokland invited for an inspiring talk. 

This was a fantastic way to come back to Portugal after a year living in the UK. 

Artigo Greek

Artigo Greek was awarded second place of the 4th International Type Design Competition for non-Latin typefaces, Granshan 2011, as a text typeface.
