Mathieu Réguer is an independent typeface designer based in Paris. He draws letters and builds fonts. After studying at École Duperré and École Estienne, he received his MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading (UK) in 2008. He designed and produced custom font families for institutions and brands such as the French State, the Tasmanian West Coast, Culture Amp, Evolved by Nature or World Rugby. Mathieu enjoys programming tools and taking fonts apart. He writes custom scripts and plug-ins for himself and a variety of other type foundries. Mathieu teaches typeface design at École Estienne in Paris.
He is one of the founders of the typeface design programme at TypeParis, and has been a core instructor since the first session in 2015.
The 3-week type design course starts on 5 April and ends 24 April 2027.
After 10 years in Paris, we reinvent our type design programme. We go from 6 weeks to 3 weeks, while maintaining the fundamentals that make TypeParis’ reputation.
The course will take place in Menorca, Spain for the first time. In 2027, we offer two levels, Foundation and Expert, which allows you to discover type design, or to gain expertise after an initial training.
