Graphic designer, Illustrator and Myopic from the age of 2½ years, i have a particular view of our world, trying to play as well with shapes and words. Besides my personal practice of drawing and painting, I collaborate with women's magazines as well as street-wear brands - house publishing or cultural associations - while animating my small house publishing « LIMO » or workshops for adults and children.
Hi, my name is Morgane Vantorre and I am in love with letters in every shape and form. Passionate about the materiality of our written language and what its forms convey beyond its meaning, I am a French freelance multitasker whose Type Design is at the heart of everything I do.
⁂
I would define myself first as a type designer working for foundries, agencies or for myself. From conception, to development to completion, I enjoy creating and producing typefaces or lettering, but I also offer art direction, editing and graphic design services.
I am also a recent editor for Monotype, for whom I write articles on French typography and graphic design news, and a typography teacher in a Parisian art school where I transmit my passion to young bachelor students.
Then, I like to experiment, during my free time, with letterforms through different techniques and materials such as calligraphy, stone carving and embroidery.
