Atelier Néerlandais
A Paris-based platform for Dutch creatives and cultural entrepreneurs. Initiated by the Dutch Embassy, Paris.
We started with the Dutch typeface Nobel, which was designed in the 19th century. Modernizing it by developing a new ‘a’, we added an outline version and renamed the new font Nobelle – a French ode to a Dutch original.
