Éric de Berranger learned his passion for drawing letters from Jean-François Porchez, his professor of typography. Both talented and prolific, de Berranger has created everything from classic text faces to cutting-edge display designs. He created the following fonts: ITC Berranger Hand™, Koala™ (2003), Maxime™ (1999), Mosquito™ (2002), Mosquito™ Formal (2003), ITC Octone™ Formal (1999) and ITC Oldbook™ Formal (2003).

Controlled casualness is the watchword in this new handwriting script from the prolific young French designer Éric de Berranger, who also designed the sans serif type family ITC Octone. ITC Berranger Hand has its roots in chancery calligraphy, yet its surface looks like contemporary informal lettering that was written quickly with a felt-tip pen on slightly absorbent paper. The counters of some letters appear to almost fill in from ink spread, yet Berranger Hand is admirably readable at small sizes. The capital letters are restrained, without swashes, so they can be used together in all-caps combinations.
