Mathieu Christe
Graduate of the KABK in Den Haag in 2008. Originally from Geneva, he created the (serifed) Nelly family as a student at KABK. He writes: I wanted a simple typotoolbox with only a few cuts and substantial differences between them. The initial family tree contained 4 cuts: Text, Italic, Bold&Display (later dropped due to time). Nelly, as a small type family, also explores the boundaries of unity. [...] I felt strongly attached to an elegant high contrast, even for a text typeface. I chose to draw according to my fantasies without following a design concept of style evolution from cut to cut. For example, I started the Text cut with a transitional contrast, concerned with legibility issues. Along the road, encouraged by my classmates, I decided to choose a "strict" pointed pen contrast because of the fun I had writing with it. |
