Roxane Gataud

Roxane Gataud (http://www.roxanegataud.com/) is a type designer based in Paris, France. Her typeface Bely (http://www.type-together.com/Bely) was the first chosen to be part of the TypeTogether Incentive Program in 2014. Since then, among other impressive achievements, she has gone onto work with Typofonderie, Production Type, and TypeFactory in her home country of France, released the full version of Bely with TypeTogether earlier this year. At the end of August, she will be presented the SOTA Catalyst Award (http://www.typecon.com/archives/4975), for significant contributions to type design by someone under 25 years of age.

We are incredibly excited to have Roxane present on her work here at Type Brigade in Vancouver—RSVP to see her first ever presentation in Canada.
