Dysfunctional web page warning. Thierry Gouttenègre is a Belgian designer (b. 1961), who is located in Tullins-Fures, France. After a stint as type director of Alfac-Decadry in Belgium, Thierry Gouttenègre moved to the south of France and started his own Design Studio in the mid 90s. In 2007, he set up TeGeType. He is one of my favorite type designers. His fonts:

  • Aldogizio (2013). The name gives the font away, an amalgamation of Aldo Novarese and Egizio---this is a slab serif fest.
  • Batarde Bourguignonne: a medieval blackletter.
  • Carcel (2009): striped letters.
  • Cinio (2009): used for signage by several French cities.
  • David Aubert (1992, Alfac): a bastarda (bâtarde bourguignonne) named after David Aubert, the calligrapher of Philippe Le Bon and Charles Le téméraire, both dukes of Burgundy who worked and lived in Brussels in the 1500s.
  • Dickens (1995, Fonderie Barthélémy).
  • Falace (2008): a contemporary interpretation of the Didone typefaces.
  • Firmin Didot (1989, Alfac).
  • Fournier (1990, Alfac).
  • Fraktur (1990, Alfac).
  • Grégoire (1994, Fonderie Barthélémy).
  • Hugo (1995, Fonderie Barthélémy).
  • Kafka (1994, Fonderie Barthélémy).
  • Limine (2008), a 3D effect family in styles called Creux and Relief.
  • LouisJou (2000).
  • Majuscule (1991, Alfac).
  • Neutre (1997, Fonderie Barthélémy). A sans family specially designed for signposting applications. This type family is used by several cities in France.
  • Otsu Sans (2011) and Otsu Slab (2013).
  • Poltrone (2010), a great titling family inspired by 19-th century public inscriptions.
  • Rome (1995, Fonderie Barthélémy).
  • Rosart (1991, Alfac), named after the 18th century Belgian typefounder, J.-F. Rosart.
  • Sand (1996, Fonderie Barthélémy).
  • Sursum (2009): a roman almost-typewriter family.
  • Tolstoï (1994, Fonderie Barthélémy).
  • Vizille (1998): a phenomenal Fournier text family made for the Musée de la Revolution Française in Vizille.
  • WebType (2002): a techno family.
