Hello! I’m Emma Marichal.
I’m a type designer and font engineer based in Lyon, France. Currently working as a freelance typeface designer and font engineer, and my primary client is Google Fonts, where I engineer fonts, improve project quality by innovating new Quality Assurance methods, and co-maintain GF's central github repository.

My typeface Ploquine, published by Type Together and developed as part of the Gerard Unger Scholarship was awarded a TDC Award in 2025.

Previously a graphic designer, I specialized in type design at EsadType. I then learned font engineering and worked for various people and clients such as Koto, WConran, BETC, Rosalie Wagner, 205TF, Fatype, Alice Savoie, and Fontwerk.

With Max Esnée, we also launched our type foundry Plomb Type.

Feel free to contact me if you need any help with your font, whether it be design or engineering-related.
