ABOUT







Ludovic Balland

Swiss typographer and graphic designer, b. Geneva, who creates new typefaces out of old ones. He graduated from the Basel School of Design, and set up Ludovic Balland Typography Cabinet in Basel in 2006. Since 2003, he has been teaching at ECAL in Lausanne. Ludovic Balland created some retail typefaces as well as many corporate typeface families. His typefaces include:

  • Zoo Basel (1998): a bespoke sans titling typeface to accompany Trade Gothic.
  • Jury Monospace (2002). A typewriter font.
  • Theater Basel (2012, with Yoann Minet). A wedge-serifed typeface with exaggerated ink traps.
  • Stanley (2012, with Yoann Minet): Inspired by New Times Roman, this retail typeface with straight brackets can be licensed from Optimo.
  • Fifth Berlin Biennal. A physical (3d, real) frivolous corporate typeface.
  • Swiss Art awards (2012). A bespoke typeface done with Yoann Minet.
  • Next (2017, Optimo). A great sans typeface family initiated in 2007 for the visual communication of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, inspired by the traffic sign typeface Drogowska designed by Marek Sigmund in 1975 for the Ministry of Transportation in Poland. A sans family in 22 styles, including Text, Poster and Mono subfamilies.
