ABOUT

Marie Otsuka

Marie is a type and graphic designer, and programmer. In addition to designing type, she works on tool engineering at Occupant Fonts in Providence, RI. She also collaborates with a range of organizations as a designer and developer. Marie holds an MFA in Graphic Design from RISD and a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Chicago.

In 2021, at Occupant Fonts / Type Network, she released the 42-style Pentameter. Type Network writes: In Pentameter, Marie Otsuka explores the polyrhythmic potential that usually stays dormant inside the limitations of monospaced typefaces. As an upright italic, the letterforms create a lively pattern while their uniform metrics remain steady. The result is an inventive design on a syncopated beat that resonates with the poetics beyond code. Pentameter's lower case i looks like a breaststroke swimmer coming up for air.
