Face of a Bird, Legs of an Eagle: The Hybrid Venus in Medieval Texts of Image Magic and the So-Called Talisman of Catherine de’ Medici
This article examines the imagery of the goddess Venus in medieval sources of astrological magic, focusing on a zoomorphic hybrid Venus characterized by avian features. Furthermore, the article examines the transmission of this motif into early modern printed sources and talismans. The most renowned among surviving items related to the hybrid Venus is the 18th-century medallion known as Catherine de Medici’s talisman, depicting on one side a classical Venus figure, and on the other, a seated Jupiter alongside a hybrid with the head and feet of a bird. In previous scholarship it has been argued that the hybrid figure, interpreted as Venus, derives from Cornelius Agrippa and the medieval magical compendium Picatrix. The study demonstrates that the same hybrid Venus appears in several other medieval sources predating Agrippa and independent of the Picatrix. These sources, explored in this article in detail, offer a new insight into the evolution of the zoomorphic Venus, providing a deeper understanding of the ways in which non-Christian and non-classical astrological iconography was transformed and found pathways within medieval literature. Based on the findings of this research, De sigillis attributed to Arnoldus Saxo, seems to provide the most direct model for depicting two distinct Venus figures within the same talisman. The article further argues that the avian hybrid Venus was a dynamic figure among non-classical hybrids, appearing in a relatively wide range of sources, including contexts where astrological hybrids were a rarity.
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.

MD Thermochrome by Mass-Driver - Future Fonts
Our written world is made from little dots: little dots of ink from a printer; phosphors or pixels on a screen; blackened thermal paper on a sales receipt. MD Thermochrome is a typeface designed around little dots. It’s not a faithful mimicry of any single printing technique, but an allusion to several — the coarse grid of dot-matrix printers, the visible scanlines of CRT terminal fonts, the varying dot size of over- and under-inked documents from any number of technologies. Built on a consistent (but not quite square) grid, Thermochrome features five discrete italic angles (Upright, Italic, Inclined, Retalic, Reclined), eight weights, and over 100 icons and symbols.

Makapansgat pebble
The Makapansgat pebble or Makapansgat cobble is a carved jasper pebble with clear markings of a crude rendition of a human face, in fact at least two possible faces. The stone's chemical makeup prevents natural weathering effects to render both blastomic metapmorphis and shape erosion at the time of formation, even if all surfaces were polished naturally afterwards which indicates the requirement for foreign biological intervention. Some scholars argue that it is the oldest known manuport, though it should be noted that original interpretations of the stone were taken from the perspective that no "man-like creature" could have been intelligent or expressed art because they were not white.Raymond A. Dart, the original discoverer of the pebble, was later credited with providing the scientific racism that formed the basis for Apartheid.
