Launched by the Typofonderie team in 2015, TypeParis is now an independent entity that operates according to its established objectives, managed collegially by the team of trainers, all highly talented professionals. TypeParis is structured in two poles: the teaching programme and the Now conferences.

Sponsoring TypeParis is all about making the programme even better and adding value to the Now conferences. It’s about creating a more welcoming atmosphere and helping to cover the costs of hosting guests, while still keeping the entrance fees reasonable, sometimes even free, depending on the type of event.
Of course, we’ll make sure you’re well-visible before, during, and after the conferences, summer programme, and workshops. We’ve carefully planned it all to reach those who are passionate about typography and will be your brand’s ambassadors.

Learning type design
The TypeParis Summer programme is an intensive course in English that takes in the heart of near Eiffel Tower in Paris. Our unique approach continues the long tradition of type design study that started in France back in the 1970’s. During the year, we organise workshops in Paris and sometimes elsewhere who cover type design, sign painting, lettering, use of software, etc.
Attendees will leave the programme with the specialised skills to design professional high quality digital typefaces, lettering and logotypes. Since 2015, we have trained nearly 141 attendees who came from all over the world, 40 countries represented to date.
TypeParis is built around a team of renowned professionals and experienced instructors: Jean François Porchez, Mathieu Réguer, Marc Rouault, Gina Serret, Julie Soudanne, Malou Verlomme. Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer and Georg Seifer from Glyphs handle special sessions with the attendees. Our weekly international guest critics for #TypeParis25 has been Cecilia del Castillo Daza (MX-SP), Ramiro Espinoza (ARG-NL), Diana Ovezea (RO), Albert-Jan Pool (NL-D). They spend a day with the attendees and, in the evening, speak about their work.
Conferences
Conferences have been an integral part since the launch of TypeParis in 2015, as evidenced by our Video channels. We think it is important to create platforms to let various universes communicate about their love of typography in their everyday practice.
In 2025, the audience came from 31 countries including: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Sweden, Thailand, TurkeyUkraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam. Success is there. It’s why we are organizing our third annual conference Now26 conference in Paris on Saturday 30 May 2025. Speakers will announced early 2026, as well workshops.
Designing a good typeface is one thing, but it’s a tiny aspect of the whole picture. The big deal is designing with type. In order to draw letters in a mindful way, we must all understand what type is for, how graphic designers, art directors use it, how they work with it, how they transform it, how they break it and, most importantly, how they communicate with it.
