ABOUT

Marie Boulanger

Paris-born and London-based independent type designer. She originally studied graphic design at Ecole Estienne in Paris, and worked for publishing and branding agencies in Europe and North America. She obtained an MA in Design & Typography at ECV Paris, class of 2018, under the direction of Jean François Porchez. Earlier, she studied linguistics at University College London. The debate on gender-inclusive writing in France sparked the idea for her original and engaging MA thesis XX, XY: Sex, Letters & Stereotypes, investigating the gendered identity of letter shapes and presented (December 2018). In 2020, she started teaching graphic design at Kingston University in London, and joined Neil Summerour's Positype Flourish foundry.

Her typefaces include Aligre (a playful revival of Fleischman Antiqua by Dutch typographer and punchcutter Fleischman), Romane, Manuel, Faubourg (2021, at Positype: a glamorous display serif called Faubourg Display, and an accompanying Peignotian sans, Faubourg Aussi), and Scoop (a font family for use in online publications (with Margaux Chambon and Cécile Heidemann).
