ADOBE FONTS UPDATE
ADOBE FONTS SERIES

The typeface used in the inside pages is characterized by its beautiful uniformity, a kind of introversion, which it certainly comes from having avoided effects and excesses, and which connects it, it seems to us, to this idea of “Le Neutre” dear to Roland Barthes. We also proposed for the back cover, a “sommaire arrangé”, which takes up the titles of the chapters while making some more concise, in order to create this sort of indecisive portrait, and which, once the capitals have been removed, looks like to a short poem.

ADOBE FONTS UPDATE

To update this genre, we trouble it with a fairly open typographic casting and a range of color that is both pale and tangy, delicately pop.

ADOBE FONTS SERIES

We imagined dressing this collection in a fairly classic outfit, a combination of references borrowed from the history of publishing – from the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch designed by Willy Fleckhaus, to the “Bibliothèque de la Pléiades”, including the “Quadrige” series in its original design from the 80s, or the “Poésies/Gallimard” series designed by Massin – which all perpetuate the editorial genre “cover with portrait of the great man (who is rarely a woman) in vignette”. On their Instagram, Jean-Marie Courant & Marie Proyart make some interesting notes on the design choices: Kellar (Apex Type Foundry) is paired with Adobe Caslon (Carol Twombly). The book has 156 pages and measures 120×192 mm. Prince was published by Éditions Les Pérégrines in April 2022. Gerald Petit offers a fine analysis of the strategy of conquest of this beast of the stage who, relentless businessman by day and creative machine by night, is constantly on the lookout and never misses an opportunity to perform. A real workaholic, he quickly became a major musician and singer who turned the music industry upside down.įascinated by his charisma and his genius, Gerald Petit retraces the construction of this prodigious destiny and takes us along in the wake of this artist who never ceases to surpass himself and multiplies his wanderings between a public confirming his aura and a critic sceptical by dint of his unpredictability. A talented multi-instrumentalist, he landed a contract at the age of eighteen to become a songwriter, composer, performer and producer in his own right. Introduced to music by his father, a pianist, and his mother, a jazz singer, Prince was a precocious musician. Ten volumes have been released so far, each with a specific typographic treatment for the titles on the front cover. Since 2019, Catalogue Général (Jean-Marie Courant & Marie Proyart) have been designing the books of the “Icônes” series, directed by Jean Cléder and Emmanuel Tibloux and published by Éditions Les Pérégrines. These are the most common typefaces in the database, but there are many more.
