Serge Cortesi
French graphic and type designer who makes mainly typefaces for companies. His oeuvre: - Freisz (1990).
- In 2002, he was awarded the Trophée d'Or by Agfa Monotype for his typeface Carrefour.
- With Sylvie Chokroun he designed the new Gaz de France typeface, called Dolcevita, for the studio Plan Créatif. It is organic with a big O.
- Shiseido, an avant-garde typeface done with Adrian Frutiger. A hint of Peignot perhaps.
- Scripte Bonne Maman, which every Frenchman recognizes from the jars of "confiture".
- CMI, or Cockerill Maintenance et Ingénierie, an organic industrial typeface.
- Luxerine.
- Ticker Restaurant.
- Accor (a hotel chain).
- Gamm Vert.
- Petit Bateau, grunge.
- Citroën (2008): corporate sans typeface. See also here.
Except for Shiseido, I don't care too much for this organic way of making fonts. It's as if France, through Cortesi, is looking for an identity other than sans, the property of the Germans and the Swiss, and serif, owned by the Dutch and the anglosaxons. Serge Cortesi's Studio Cortesi also has typefaces by Christophe Badani and Stéphane Gabrielli. Typecache link.
