The Geometry of Type

The Geometry of Type explores 100 traditional and modern typefaces in detail, with a full spread devoted to each entry. Characters from each typeface are enlarged and annotated to reveal key features, anatomical details, and the finer, often-overlooked elements of type design, which shows how these attributes affect mood and readability. Sidebar information lists the designer and foundry, the year of release and the different weights and styles available, while feature boxes explain the origins and best uses for each typeface, such as whether it is suitable for running text or as a display font for headlines. To help the reader spot each typeface in the wider world, the full character set is shown, and the best letters for identification are highlighted.

Typothèque Esa le Septantecinq - home -

La typothèque de l’ESA le 75 collecte une série de caractères typographiques libres et gratuits créés par les étudiant·es de l’orientation Graphisme. Chaque année, les BAC 2 s’initient à la création de caractères dans le cadre d’une semaine de workshop animée par Flore Van Ryn et un·e intervenant·e invité·e (Structure Baton, Antoine Gelgon, Étienne Ozeray, Laurent Müller, Mariel Niels). Depuis 2015, les invité·es proposent différentes approches de la lettre dont la diversité des formes de cette typothèque témoigne. Les glyphes sont dessinés collectivement en dehors des éditeurs de fontes avant d’être finalement rassemblés manuellement dans FontForge pour générer les polices. D’autres caractères alimentent cette collection, dessinés cette fois individuellement par des étudiant·es de BAC 3 dans le cadre de leur travail de fin d’étude. Si vous faites usage de ces fontes, merci de créditer les dessinateur·ices et la typothèque afin de les relier au contexte pédagogique de leur création-diffusion.
