Manau Quellec

Originally from Créteil in the eastern suburbs of Paris, Manau Quellec studied graphic design and editorial practices at Ésad Amiens, where he also gained a foundation in type design. His education allowed him to experience diverse contexts, including studying at Bauhaus University in Germany, working at Oaza Studio and Publishing House in Zagreb, and interning remotely at Contrast Foundry during the EsadType postgraduate programme. Passionate about newspaper typography, Anglo-Saxon tabloids, and British billboard, Manau’s typeface Newz creates a transgenerational design, drawing from 18th century English press canons while embracing early 21st century popular culture.

Manau Quellec’s Newz family won the 2025 Gerard Unger Scholarship and is currently under development for future release.
