ABOUT

Prototypo [Louis-Rémi Babé]

A kickstarter project by Yannick Mathey and Lyon-based Louis-Rémi Babé that attempts to make type design easy and parametric, with sliders. Yannick Mathey's web page. Others involved in the project include or included Jean-Baptiste Levée, Yann Guillet, François Poizat and Antoine Heber-Suffrin. The commercial app went into beta mode in October 2015.

In 2016, there are three typefaces ready in their system: Prototypo Grotesk, Prototypo Fell, and Prototypo Elzevir. In 2018, they launched Unique, an on-line app for selecting after 20 clicks a font that will cost 35 dollars a pop.

Speaker at ATypI 2016 in Warsaw on Advances in JS-based font creation technologies and tools and on Versatile Type Design for the Web.
