About - Black Foundry

About. Founded in 2014, the company is born out of the meeting of a serial French entrepreneur and type designer Grégori Vincens with a London-raised type designer and font engineer Jérémie Hornus.

Today, Black[Foundry] is an international team of 12 talents, including type designers, font developers, art directors, programmers, software engineers and project managers, all working from central Paris with connections around the globe. Our clients vary greatly, in size, reach and sector but they all have one thing in common: they live in a connected world. And so do we.
