“The most difficult thing to do when designing display fonts is to keep all the characters of the alphabet in the same compositional and plastic style. I am talking now about fonts with a new approach to typographic form (not about any kind of brush scripts).”...
“Decorative and display typefaces have a unique personality that can be emphasized through pairing them with a project. Whether it’s a decorative terminal or crazy ligature, these fonts can either shine or fall down depending on their context.”...
“The challenge is always to balance the weight of all the letters and make those letters a part of a full font. This is mostly related to the fact that the typefaces are strange and the letters are pretty crazy, so to make them all live in harmony is hard, but it’s also the fun part! Nowadays I also think...
“Pairing strategies can be quite diverse, depending on what you’re trying to solve. The pairing might be done to establish distinction between elements, to indicate different notations, to make two typefaces feel the same at different scales, or for textural variety.

“The need for singularity and my graphic design background led me to develop over the years a unique and recognizable style.”...
“I would advise designers to avoid setting lengthy passages of text in display fonts and reserve them exclusively for headings or titles, where they can serve as elegant design elements. Individual decorated letters of my fonts look great as a logo. To complement my fonts, I often recommend pairing them with understated serif or sans-serif typefaces, chosen based on the...
“Choosing the right typeface is about more than just selecting what looks good. Different type styles evoke different emotions and associations, making it essential to consider the context in which they’re being used. Display typefaces are usually used as focal points in a design, so they need to do a clear job at establishing hierarchy. This becomes particularly important when...
