Grands corps palpables
1 week workshop at DSAA LAAB, Lycée Brequigny, Rennes, October 2017
Students were invited to design an original typeface inspired by the spirit of 19th century’s wood type. Several constraints – drawn at random – have laid the foundations of these creations. Numeric at first, these fonts were materialized (thanks to laser cut) in a set of wood type for letterpress printing.
The students then designed a poster, based on a slogan picked from the website La rue ou rien. These posters have been printed and exhibited at the Printing Museum of Nantes.
