About Tschichold Font Family


The first photo-typesetting machine in operation, the Uhertype, was introduced in 1925. It was a combination of manual phototypesetting machine and make-up machine. The machine’s typefaces were designed by Jan Tschichold. The patents on Uhertype were bought up at the time to prevent the invention of filmsetting spreading. Jan Tschichold has been very influenced by Gill Sans (1928) for this humanistic sans serif drawn in 1933/36 for Uhertype.

About Présence Typo

Présence Typo is one of the smallest independent digital typefoundries on this planet. Its slogan: "small is more & less is beautiful" or something like that. Founded in 2000 by Thierry Puyfoulhoux who is at the moment the only designer, PrésenceTypo is located in the French Alps. The foundry's goal is to provide a collection of high quality type designs and custom products. As it is more inportant to reach 2000 sorcerers of the forest than 2 millions of gas consumers (or internet connected), this typefoundry will never have 10,000 fonts in its catalogue.
