  • The Latin italic typeface Joos (2009). Joos won an award at TDC2 2010. It was inspired by an italic created in 1536 by Joos Lambrecht, from Gent, Belgium, who was one of the great printers and punchcutters of the 16th century.
  • Unicopte (for Coptic, 2008). He co-designed Copte Scripte in 2008 with Jonathan Perez. Copte Scripte won an award at TDC2 2009. His thesis at Estienne was about the development of Unicopte.
  • Luciole (2019). he explains about this free monolinear sans family: A typeface for visual impairment. Word massing, spacing, the structure of the letters: the concept for Luciole adheres to a dozen specific design criteria to provide the best possible reading experience for the visually impaired. Particular care has been taken in drawing the figures, mathematical signs, and punctuation. Each style of Luciole contains over seven hundred characters and supports almost all European languages. The character set also includes many Greek and mathematical symbols for scientific notation. Luciole aims to facilitate both optimal readability for visually impaired students and efficient deployment by publishing professionals. For the development, he had help from DIPHE laboratory at the Université Lumière Lyon 2.
