i'm, that year, student in a journalism school.
i have to do an interview, in english, with an interesting person.
i love fonts. So i'd like very much to interview a font creator. In Paris.
If you're the one i seek, please tell me. thanks.
Ok I think I understand what your trying to communicate.
You want and American who is IN France, for an interview? Not just a Frenchman who speaks english?!?
If an english speaking Fenchman is ok, try http://www.typofonderie.com/
Hildebrant.
yeah, i need, if not necessary an American, not a french. Any person who isn't french, live (or is right now or before december) in Paris, and has something interesting for me is good.
I thought of M. Standun and still, as i often enjoy his posts; but my first idea is to get a font creator, if possible.

2) From S Carter's "20th Century Type designers":
"
Two of the designers of the generation after Roger Excoffon who have contributed most to French type design have been to some extent outsiders. Adrian Frutiger ... is Swiss, while the slightly older Jose Mendoza y Almeida, while born in France, is fiercely proud of his Spanish descent.
"
If you could nab Mendoza, that would rock.
Let me know if you need contact info (although I'd have to ask permission from a third party).

As for Matha, type design or no, hook up with him - you won't regret it.
