FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Sébastien Hayez Type and graphic designer and art teacher, b. 1978, Lyon, France, who is based in Villeurbanne. He was artistic director at Crescend'O and curator of sifgners-book.com (2009-2018) and agfronzoni.com (2012-2018). His typefaces are mostly released at Frank Adebiaye's Velvetyne Type Foundry, which is committed to the Open Source movement---all fonts are free. In 2011, he created the experimental typefaces Mourier (based on a geometric alphabet created in 1973 by Danish graphic designer Eric Mourier. The font uses square of 7 x 7 units and consists of unclosed lines. The first and only use was in the booklet The Myth about Bird B by Knud Holten), Semicir, BipHop, Broom, Flaubertine (with Olivier Dolbeau), Hangul and Rotunda. In 2013, he added Victorianna (thin Victorian slab serif), Runic Sans (inspired by a runic semi-uncial callygraphy seen on the Book of Kells), Courrrier (with three r's---a monospaced experimental typewriter face), Process (geometric, experimental), Lment (hipster typeface), Gnaw. In 2014, he designed the free font VTF Victoriianna Thin at Velvetyne. In 2020, with Ariel Martin Perez, he released the free typeface Cantique at Velvetyne. Cantique was inspired by some hand-carved titles used in post-romantic French bookplates, both for their ornamental qualities and for their kind of medieval mood. Klingspor link.
