Description

Peu de créateurs de caractères peuvent se targuer de représenter, à eux seuls ou presque, la création typographique d'un pays tout entier. Jean-François Porchez est de ceux-là. Profondément français, il a su créer de nombreuses passerelles avec le monde typographique anglo-saxon. Lorsqu'il ne parcourt pas le monde, il travaille sur des projets typographiques au sein de son studio ZeCraft, sur des caractères pour Typofonderie, ou bien il partage sa passion avec ses étudiants à Paris, toujours prêt à communiquer et échanger autour de son art, avec une passion et un enthousiasme intacts, de Los Angeles à Helsinki en passant par New York ou Bangkok. Ses alphabets habillent les pages de quotidiens comme "Le Monde" ou "The Baltimore Sun", les murs du métro parisien parisien et du BHV, les articles de maroquinerie de Louis Vuitton, la communication de Yves Saint-Laurent Beauté, de Peugeot, de La Poste, de Sephora ou de la chanteuse Beyoncé. Et pourtant, cet amoureux de la lettre, ce pédagogue-né n'avait jamais fait l'objet d'un ouvrage ou d'une monographie ; c'est maintenant chose faite.
