Au revoir, Roxane!

- March 2023
After 17+ years, TypeTogether says a heartfelt goodbye to the award-winning type designer Roxane Gataud—celebrating her stunning work on families like Bely and Aneto, her warm presence on the team, and the exciting next chapter ahead.
Over the 17+ years of TypeTogether history, we’ve had teammates come and go, but few have touched our hearts like the wonderful and talented Roxane Gataud. She initially came to us through her stellar scholarship-winning Bely family and proved to be so skilled, creative, and enjoyable that we brought her on initially as a graphic designer, then as a type designer permanently.
If you’ve followed either Roxane or TypeTogether, you know her amazing type design work. With us she has designed Bely and our Aneto families. She teamed up with Alice Savoie of Frenchtype on Faune and Romain 20, and worked with other type foundries such as Type Factory, Production Type, and Typofonderie. Before announcing her next step, Roxane was continuing on our upcoming Portada Extended family and some secret, custom work which should be released this year.
Roxane’s designs have garnered her several prestigious awards, such as the 2016 Catalyst Award from the Society of Typographic Aficionados, the Type Directors Club award, and others. She continues to create her own type designs and have a balanced life outside of work.
Messages from some of the TypeTogether team
Farewell, dear Roxane! It has been a pleasure to share in your positive energy over the years. Wishing you all the luck in the world for your next adventure.
You are amazing, smart, and funny, and I have really appreciated meeting you. I hope you do very well in the new projects!
I’ll miss you so much, Roxane! As a fellow quiet person, you helped me find my feet on the TypeTogether team during our annual get-togethers, and I loved our chats about life and work.
I’m so glad I got the chance to know you. You’re awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing what you will do in your next steps. I’m happy for you and I will miss your presence a whole lot.
Thank you for helping me on the last day in Girona, Roxane. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter!
I really enjoyed working with you over the past few months, and appreciated your willingness to be the first on camera for the ‘Meet the Team’ videos in Girona!
I’m pretty sure our paths will cross again someday somewhere, so not a farewell: À bientôt and have fun!
We will miss the queen of gaming very much. Wishing you all the very best on your new exciting path!
