ABOUT







Johannes Nicolaas Coenraad Collette

Joan Collette for short, b. Delft, 1889, d. Nijmegen, 1958. Dutch illustrator, graphic designer and painter. With Flemish designer Jos Dufour, he created the beautiful ultra-fat art deco display typeface L'Indépendant (ca. 1930). It was done at Etablissements Plantijn, a foundry in Brussels affiliated at the time with Lettergieterij Amsterdam. Specimen at the University of Amsterdam library. The name and the year of release were chosen to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the independence of Belgium (from the Netherlands). It was made into a font by Monotype in 1999.

Implementations of Independant include Independant (free; by Phynette and Apostrophe), Dujour (by Steve Matteson), Sid The Kid NF (free; by Nick Curtis), Collette (2007, by Anton Scholtz), Dufour (2011, Anton Scholtz), and Jumbo Mumbo NF (2006, Nick Curtis).
