MyFonts’ review: Porchez Typofonderie, France’s best known digital type company, is the studio of Jean-François Porchez. Parisine was designed for signage in the difficult conditions of the Paris metro and has numerous features that contribute to its high legibility. Apolline, suitable for serious book and magazine work with its many weights and expert sets, won the Morisawa type design award in 1993. Angie Sans is a low-contrast incised sans serif, a fine alternative to Optima with many humanist touches.

Biography
This foundry born unofficially circa 1994, and launched his first retail typefaces in 1995 with Apolline, Angie Sans and Anisette. Its the first sales who make the foundry official! The objective of the foundry was to propose the Jean-François Porchez typefaces in a exclusive way without the help of retails-local distributors. It can be understood as way to control all the sales process and support. Along theses years, some interns, and few people worked internally or externally with Jean Francois Porchez. Today, its still a one man operation company.
The website under the URL porcheztypo.com was launched in middle of 1997 in same time as the launch of the big family Le Monde. In 1999, with the launch of the E-commerce with immediate downloads and secure payments, the domain name typofonderie.com started his life and remain the only domain name used today.
