ABOUT

Gaël Faure

Graphic designer in Lausanne, Switzerland, b. 1984, who teaches at ECAL and EPFL. With Raphaël Verona, he designed the commercial typeface Thames Capsule (2015-2016), which is based on the Doves Type whose letterpress blocks were thrown into the Thames in 1917 by T.J. Cobden-Sanderson. Robert Green (a PhD student at Central Saint Martins / the University of the Arts, London) claims the following: It's basically a pirated version of my font with some details changed. They used all of my research, took my font and knocked up a quick cash-in. I checked their files, and around 90% of their bezier nodes are in the exact same positions as the version of my Doves Type that was available at the time: a mathematical impossibility if you're creating a revival from scratch.
