Marc Rouault French graphic and type designer based in Morlaix. Graduate of the Typemedia program at KABK, class of 2016. Since then, he has worked as an independent typeface designer, drawing letters for himself and custom type for clients, most notably Formula 1, Tour de France. He is currently an instructor at the graphic design school, ECV Paris, and at Type@Paris' summer program [since 2017]. His typefaces: The gorgeous wedge-serif family Vernet (2011), done together with François Malbezin. Vernet takes its origins in an engraved stone of an hotel in Paris, Hotel Vernet. The informal typeface PasCap (2012). Trois Mille (2016), his KABK graduation typeface---a celebration of 20th century French types from luminaries such as Roger Excoffon. He received an Honorable Mention in the Latin category for this super-heavy typeface in 2016 at the Morisawa Type Design Competition 2016. Trois Mille was released by New York-based Sharp Type in 2020 in 294 (!) styles. Several companies have adopted Trois Mille including, most famously, Banger Magazine. Review by Jyni Ong. Custom typefaces. For example, Rouault designed a new F1 custom font family for W+K London. He was in house type designer at Wcie in Paris until end of 2017 for which he designed a bunch of bespoke typefaces as well. In 2019, Lucas Sharp and Marc Rouault wrapped up Doyle at Sharp Type. The chubby Doyle interpolates between Cooper Black and ITC American Typewriter. In 2021, Lucas Sharp and My-Lan Thuong, assisted by Wei Huang and Marc Rouault, designed Salter. Salter Roman is based on calligraphic book jackets by Georg(e) Salter from 1941, and Salter Italic is inspired by two of Oscar Ogg's book jacket alphabets from 1942. Cargo collective link.
