Albert Boton
Bookmark and Share

Born in 1932, Albert Boton began his professional career as a cabinet maker. He soon turned his attention to graphic design and learned on-the-job in a number of different studios. While attending evening courses at École Estienne he met Adrian Frutiger who taught him calligraphy. In 1957 he started work at Deberny & Peignot under Adrian Frutiger and contributed – among other typefaces – to the design of Univers for hot metal composition and Lumitype, the new French photocomposition system. From 1958 to 1966 he helped create several typefaces for the Hollenstein phototype catalog. In 1968 he became the art director for Robert Delpire publishers, but in his spare time he continued to design typefaces for the Hollenstein collection and later for Mecanorma and Typogabor. From 1968 to 1997 he was a teacher of type design and calligraphy at the École nationale des arts décoratifs (Ensad) in Paris and from 1988 to 1998 he taught type design at the Atelier national de recherche typographiques. In 1981 Albert Boton became art director and head of type department at the design agency Carré Noir. He retired in 1997 but has never stopped designing typefaces.
