He also contributes regularly to conferences and international publications. He published Lettres Françaises,[4] a book (in French & English) that, at the time, showed a large selection of contemporary French digital typefaces. In late 2001 he was the President of a jury set up by the Ministère de l’Éducation Nationale to select the new handwriting model and system for France and was a jury member of the 3rd Linotype Type Design Contest.
He founded the community blog and website Le Typographe,[5] dedicated to French speaking typography and typeface design.
