Léo Guibert
French type designer based in Paris. He graduated in 2020 from the postgraduate program in type design at ESAD Amiens (France) and in 2018 from the DSAA Design Typographique (MFA Type Design) at École Estienne, Paris with a project about experimental workhorse typefaces. He regularly works with PoliceStudio and Typofonderie. His graduation typeface at ESAD was Welfare (Grot and Press), about which he writes: Welfare is rooted in the English Industrial Revolution context and acts as witness to the opposition that existed between typefoundries' commercial typefaces and Private Press Movement's handcrafted revivals. The typeface is composed of two subsets: Grot, a grotesque design inspired by early English sans serifs; and Press, a serif design inspired by Jensonian revivals of the Private Press Movement's typefaces. Co-designer of Cloche d'Or (2016), a custom all caps alphabets done for Minale Design Strategy Brussels. Cloche d'Or was designed by Christophe Badani (lead), Maha Mouidine, and Léo Guibert. It includes Normal, Hatch, Inline Bright, Inline Dark, Stencil and Outline styles. Other earlier typefaces: Covenant (2019: a Scotch roman), Retex (2018: a study into readibility), Savon Italic (2018: with Loan Bottex), Galmi (2017: inspired by Praguese Clay Golem). |
