Video interview: Emma Marichal

We introduced you to Emma Marichal in 2022 when she won the Gerard Unger Scholarship for her Ploquine typeface, developed while studying at Esad d’Amiens under Sébastien Morlighem’s tutoring. After months of work to expand the family and perfect the variable fonts, we have just released it and hope you appreciate the same expressive joy and usefulness we found in it. Her video interview covers a bit of her history, her process, and her hopes for the Ploquine family.

Ploquine is a slab serif of structured delicacy, able to set context with subtlety or be stylistically captivating. Designed for editorial use from wood types, the family can be aggressive or delicate. Its 14 well-balanced styles are suitable for paragraphs where its details improve the overall text color, and they become a distinctive branding feature when set at large sizes. Her experimentation and research produced a typeface with calm-fidence in every style.
