Hi! I’m Daytona Mess :)
aka Anne-Dauphine Borione irl, but pls call me Ando!!
Bonjour!
My nickname comes from Lana Del Rey’s song Daytona Meth, my most listened to song of all time on Spotify is In My Head by Lauren Sanderson, Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3 are my favourite games of all time, I have a tattoo of Cirilla from the Witcher saga, my favourite way to relax is by watching countless episodes of Critical Role, I drink LITERS of coffee, I listen to A LOT of womxn lead pop and lofi, I live and breathe for fantasy, I'm mostly known for extreme display type, and I love letters more than anything in the universe.
I graduated from a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins in 2016, from a Master in Typography and Graphic Design at ECV Paris in 2020, and from TypeMedia at the KABK in 2024. My final project from TypeMedia, Dargon, received the 2024 Gerard Unger Scholarshop with TypeTogether. I am currently a freelance type designer, based in Paris, France, and an educator at ECV Paris and various workshops.
Type design, music, and video games are my biggest passions, and I’m exceptionally glad to meet you :) If you’re looking for more type in progress, check out my Insta, I’m always available!
Come discuss letterforms w me :D ︎
