Emma Marichal

Emma Marichal is a French type designer and font engineer based in Lyon, France. Initially from a graphic design background, she specialised in type design at EsadType in Amiens and concluded her studies with an internship at the 205TF foundry. She then met font engineer Rosalie Wagner who trained her in font engineering, equipping her to work for several large foundries in that role. Emma currently helps various clients develop their typographic projects from both a design and technical point of view.

Emma’s Ploquine font family was the winner of the 2022 Gerard Unger Scholarship, was released in 2024, and she continues work to extend the family.
