Hélène Marian Graduate of Ecole Supérieure Estienne, Paris, 2010 who works as a graphic designer, sign painter and lettering artist in Paris. She works for clients from French cultural institutions to American national sport league, and collaborates actively with members of the Parisian experimental music scene. She also teaches lettering at Paris City Hall Graphic Arts School (Epsaa). Designer of the Basque style typeface Bilboboum, the sans typeface family Viparis (2015) and the wide Peignotian display sans typeface La Saumuroise (2015). At Production Type, assisted by Hugues Gentile, she published PVC (2019): PVC is a rambunctious display sans that plays at the edges of width and weight. As those in the plumbing industry know, PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, but most of us know about PVC because of the pipes and other objects that are made of the hard, plastic polymer. PVC is kind of a wonder plastic, because it is both extremely durable and incredibly versatile. Which is actually a great way to describe PVC, the typeface: the family includes four super-varied styles (Menu, Promo, Banner, and Banner Ultra), all of which share a hearty backbone while flaunting very different shapes. Other typefaces include MahJ (2015: on commission for the musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaisme, and art directed by Malou Verlomme), WNBA (2019: a sports fonts produced with the Production Type team of Hugues Gentile and Marion Sendral, for the WNBA).
