ABOUT

Michel Paré

Michel Paré studied graphic design and technique at the Art Academie Artibus, Utrecht, the Netherlands, and has worked as a graphic designer and web designer. He attended the Expert Class Type Design at the Plantin Institute of Typography in Antwerp, Belgium. Paré conducted research in the history of typographic ornaments, especially those of J.F. Rosart.

In 2017-2018, Paré digitized 800 of Rosart's typographical ornaments and some of the 18th-century Belgian punchcutter's flourished capitals. The digitized ornaments and an accompanying publication will be published by the Dutch Type Library. Plantin Institute link. Speaker at ATypI 2018 in Antwerp (with Walda Verbaenen).
