ABOUT

Eric Mourier

Danish graphic designer, b. 1939, who was trained as a lithographer in 1961 at The Graphic College and in 2008 at Denmark's Media and Journalism College, specializing in graphic design. He then taught at the Grafische Højskole between 1966 and 1981 and set up his own drawing room with his wife Mette Mourier.

His type designs include the labyrinthine alphabet Mourier in 1971, which was revived by Sébastien Hayez in 2002 and published at the open source type foundry Velvetyne in Paris in 2011. Then, in 2020, Ukraininan designer Alex Ash (Alexander Kondratenko) proposed a Cyrillic alphabet expansion of the font, of which he had imagined the capitals. Ariel Martin Perez took this opportunity and developped lowercase letters for Latin and Cyrillic scripts (with feedback from Alex Ash for the Cyrillic), added diacritics and symbols, mastered the font and also created several sets of alternates.
