I was much better at technical drawing, and it felt like, for me, there would be more opportunities in graphic design. 4 That’s why I started doing an Art Foundation, but during the course I changed my mind and decided to study graphic design instead of interior design, because I realised I was not a good architectural drawer. Actually, at first, I was really interested in designing the inside of boats, arranging the interior space – basically, interior design for boats. Artistic Upbringing Have you always wanted to pursue graphic design? Before that, I did a Foundation Course back in Brittany, 3 where my family come from, then I moved to Paris to take a Bachelors in Graphic Design at the École Estienne. I’ve just graduated after completing my a Masters in Type Design at the École Estienne in Paris 2. Website - Type Foundry - Instagram - Twitter Lucas, can you start by explaining who you are and what you do? Following the recent release of his typeface Sporting Grotesque on Velvetyne, 1 he will soon launch a design studio called Dreams Office in partnership with his former classmate, James Briandt. In his first in-depth interview, Lucas shares how he came to be a type designer, the design process behind the fonts he creates and the cultural inspiration that feeds his practice.
And when it comes to culture, Lucas is just as open-minded: he’s fallen for Japan after spending three months interning at Yokohama-based design studio Nosigner.
Instead of creating in a designer-dominated bubble, Lucas’ interdisciplinary style has inspired his collaboration with some unexpected partners in engineering and heavy industry.
Raised by engineer parents and with a science-focused academic background, Lucas’ type design practice stands out for its extremely methodical, process-driven approach, where he leaves design choices to the very end. ���b1��0n��.A recent graduate of the École Estienne in Paris, Lucas Le Bihan is a graphic designer who specialises in type design.
