Francis Chouquet

Elliot sits down with Francis Chouquet, a type designer, lettering artist, printmaker, and former web designer who’s based just outside of Basel, Switzerland, to talk about the weekly schedule that enforces time away from screens, using physically distinct locations to do different kinds of creative work, and how he’s grown his audience via his newsletter, The Typochondriac Weekly.

The book Francis mentions in this episode is How to Do Nothing, by Jenny Odell. He and Elliot also mention the newsletters and membership programme run by Craig Mod.
