Jules is an independent Graphic and Type Designer, based in Toulouse, France. He produces typefaces, revivals with a twist, custom lettering for any needs and styles. He seeks visual language, expressive letterforms, emotional typography, balance and a pace toward each signs. Moreover, Jules can modify and expand existing typefaces, or can be commissioned to produce new bespoke typefaces. This work is often produced on a basis of exclusivity whereby the typeface in question will become available to the general public after a period of time.
