Akalollip [Loïc Sander] Loïc Sander (Akalollip) is a Strasbourg-based graphic and type designer, b. Germany. He is associated with Production Type. Creator of the free font family Fengardo Neue (2012, Velvetyne Type Foundry and Open Font Library), a (very) humanist sans with a Gillian lower case g. In 2015, he designed the didone typeface family Trianon at Production Type, in Text, Grande and Caption sub-families. Benedikt Bramböck writes: Weighing in at a total number of forty-two styles spread out over four size-specific families, it is certainly not another blunt revival of a Didot typeface. Even more remarkable than the size of the type system is the stylistic scope it covers, including elaborate italics, monolinear Lights, heavily slab-serif-flavored Caption cuts, and Grande styles that verge on becoming stencils---all referencing different works from the golden era of the Didots. With this pluralism of style and character, Trianon almost commands you to use it in all the "wrong"ways, exhibiting flamboyant shapes, flexibility, and individuality. In 2016, he added the gorgeous fat didone typeface Trianon Normande, which was done with the aid of Sandra Carrera, Roxane Gataud and Yoann Minet at Production Type. Fontsquirrel link.
