He started cutting type in metal, then designed typefaces for every subsequent technology, and currently is at the forefront of digital type design optimised for on screen reading.

Le débat du second tour, un rituel plus qu'un moment décisif Il n'a pas le monopole du vainqueur: parfois perçu comme décisif, surtout quand le nombre d'électeurs incertain est important, le débat des finalistes de la présidentielle, dont l'édition 2012 opposera François Hollande et Nicolas Sarkozy ce mercredi 2 mai, a pourtant un impact incertain sur le nom du futur président de la République. «Grand moment de campagne» et «sacre de la télévision politique», selon les mots de l'historien Michel Winock dans son essai La Mêlée présidentielle, oui.
