Work inspiration with Jean-Baptiste Levee

Jean-Baptiste Levee
Typeface designer from France | Custom & retail typefaces
I work methodically in a process where history and technology are approached altogether within the nuances of artistry. I manufacture functional, yet versatile digital platforms for designers to build upon.
Favorite fonts and typefaces
I still need to find who quoted that:
Ask a shepherd which his favorite sheep. If he answers "I like that one for his wool, that one for his milk, yah one for his meat" you know he cares about the pack. If he says "I like that nice little one over there", then he must have something else on his mind
Tools
From pencil to Python, my workflow is granular and just adapts, to a certain extent, to the goals I want to achieve.

Ideal work environment
The one where I can perform happily without having the feeling that this is work. Planes, trains, couch, studio space.
Inspiration
People, love, books. See this.
