What else can one write about the man whose Wikipedia entry has been translated into 15 different languages?
The man, whose shelves are decorated with multiple awards for his life’s work from the most renowned associations and a beautifully framed honorary doctorate certificate. The man, whose reference books and biography became international bestsellers. The man, who has designed more successful typefaces than most foundries have to offer. The man, who is an entertaining guest in audio, film and TV productions (e.g. the legendary BBC video. He is at home in three time zones and owns more bicycles in each place than a large sporty family. He is the man who was heavily involved building two of the most relevant creative agencies, a legendary letterpress workshop, and the most important independent font distributor and the largest library of contemporary typefaces.
So, there is not much left to write about this man. Apart from the fact that Fontwerk would probably not exist without the latter two achievements, our roots lie in the ideals and friendships of the first 25 years of FontShop. The fact that Erik sees his future as a type designer for our label after his enormously successful time at ITC and FontFont is highly appreciated and a hugely motivating obligation for us.
Surrounded by the crystal-clear, ice-age lakes at the gates of Berlin, Anja Meiners finds inspiration for distinct and contemporary typefaces.
She lives in the tranquil surroundings of Brandenburg with four generations of her a not quite so tranquil family but the business of the city is always within reach.
Together with Ralph du Carrois, Anja founded bBox Type where they developed exclusive custom fonts for international brands such as ZDF, Cewe and Autodesk. They are also responsible for the popular Fira Sans for Mozilla in cooperation with Erik Spiekermann and team and the multiscript extension FiraGO for the geodata provider ‘here’. In 2022, Anja left bBox to pursue new challenges.
As well as a flair for typefaces, the communication designer has a talent for organizing events, such as the monthly Typostammtisch Berlin, for which she also loves to write for. Another big and important topic for Anja is the process of how kids learn to read and write.
The graphic design studio founded by Ralph and Jennifer du Carrois soon developed into a type design studio after an extensive corporate type project for Suzuki.
Ralph made a name for himself with international clients such as de Gruyter, zdf, Cisco, Bosch, TERN, Autodesk and Monotype by extending and designing fonts. One of his most extensive projects was Fira Sans for Mozilla, which he developed together with Erik Spiekermann, Anja Meiners and team as well as the extended FiraGo design for the geo provider ‘here’.
With his foundry bBox Type, Ralph serves customers and clients of various sizes from different business areas. bBox has realized projects for zdf, cewe, here, de Gruyter, Mozilla, Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin, Autodesk, Erik Spiekermann, Cisco, Bosch, the City of Rome and many more.
Born in Allgäu, Germany, the graduate Product Designer still devotes his spare time to both his actual field of study and to art. When he left the hustle and bustle of Berlin, new spaces and perspectives opened up for him and his family in Potsdam. Today he lives and works there in a wooden house, which he designed himself.
