About Us

NaN is an exploratory and service-driven type design practice balancing weirdness and wisdom. Together with our wonderful rag-tag team of collaborators, clients and crew, we explore the relationship type has with code and technology – delivering projects with purpose. You can expect to find us at the intersection of serious and slap-happy.

Team

Luke Prowse

Founder & Designer

Luke has designed typefaces for some of the biggest brands and organisations in the world, spanning consumer electronics, broadcast television, FMCGs, and various cultural institutions. He began his professional career at sixteen as a developer before working across a breadth of visual design for agencies in Paris, London and Berlin.

J.B Morizot

Type Designer & Font Engineer

Jean-Baptiste Morizot was born in France in 1983. He released his first typeface, Bluu, in 2013 as an open-source font before working as a font engineer and type designer for various foundries. He launched his own foundry, Phantom Foundry, in 2018 and joined NaN at the end of 2021 – working on both retail and custom fonts.

Fátima Lazaro

Type Designer

Fátima lives and works between Paris, France and Mexico City, Mexico, her native country. She joined the Esad Type programme in Amiens in 2016, where she designed her first typeface, Cardone, with 205TF. She shares her time between NaN, her own typographic practice and the cycling project NVAYRK.

Jérémy Landes

Designer & Foundry Support

Hailing from southwest France and now based in Berlin, Jérémy’s practice incorporates his love for organic shapes and fresh food, from corporate brand identities to retail typefaces, operating under his alias, Studio Triple. Additionally, Jérémy has contributed to Velvetyne since 2011, creating and donating original, open-source typefaces.

Marcus Piper

Australian Associate

With over two decades of international experience crafting editorial and brand design, our Australian Associate knows exactly how type should be used, where, when, why and how. His ability to transcend aesthetic trends and guide pure typographic solutions is an asset to both NaN and our international clientele.

NaNNY

Studio Dog

NaNNY is our studio manager/night owl/community-manager/chaos-master. No one ever met it (them?), although we find disturbing traces of its existence with such regularity, it is impossible to deny NaNNY’s presence.

We’re always on the lookout for fresh points of typographic view. If you have a design that you think could fit our library then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
