Jean Gabriel Bery
Fred Smeijers writes: Jean Gabriel Bery was a Paris stencil maker whose atelier was located on the Pont Notre-Dame. His work is mainly known from the stencil set he supplied to Benjamin Franklin in 1781, now at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia. Bery's confident sense of design and the excellent production of his stencils rank him among the best stencil makers of any period. Bery's roman letters exemplify the blend of calligraphic, engraved and typographic qualities found in French stencil letters throughout the eighteenth century. As a consequence, Fred designed the stencil typeface Bery Roman in 2012 at Our Type based on Bery's stencils. |
