“The international bestseller” is added in caps from a Didot.

The raw, visceral energy of Akwaeke Emezi’s Little Rot finds a striking visual counterpart in the typeface Good Girl designed by Marion Bisserier. Set against a backdrop of intimacy, hunger, and defiance, the title design leans into the grotesque beauty of Emezi’s prose – unflinching, emotional, and gloriously corporeal.

Used for the cover treatment and supporting visual assets, Good Girl delivers sharp, sculptural forms that feel both confrontational and deliberately off-kilter. Its uneven rhythm and bold personality echo the themes of bodily transformation and emotional reckoning that run throughout the work.

Much like Little Rot itself, the typography refuses to be neat or easily digested. It’s typographic grit – loud, unapologetic, and perfectly aligned with Emezi’s fearless storytelling.

Pentagram partner Marina Willer and team designed a visual identity for Thai soft drink brand Camu C with Good Girl as its main typeface. Marion Bisserier, Good Girl’s designer, collaborated on the project typography. From the case presentation:

Camu C takes its name from Camu Camu, an Amazonian berry fruit that resembles a cherry and has one of the highest Vitamin C levels in the plant world. Considered to be a superfood, it can be added to food and drinks as a health supplement.

The team’s aim was to celebrate the health benefits of drinking Camu C while appealing to its young and health-conscious audience. The confident typographic approach features a curvy Camu C logo made from a customised version of the typeface Good Girl. The tone of voice and use of typography plays with the fresh and fun feel of the brand.

Colour plays a key part in the brand identity, with a vibrant colour palette composed of pinks and greens, inspired by the Camu Camu berries and their leaves.

The supporting sans used for Thai and English text is FC Iconic by Jutipong Poosumas.

Alex Chavot created the designs for the 10th anniversary of concert venue Petit Bain in Paris (“10 piges” is French slang for “10 years”). The design is built around a key visual from which the ten concert events – taking place all year round to celebrate – are derived. For each event, the name of the artists are set in a tight composition and a completely new surrealistic visual is created with “pieces” from the main poster.

Good Girl by Marion Bisserier (Type Department) is paired with Yoann Minet’s Clifton (205TF) and Practical Grotesk (Apex Type Foundry, designed by Alex Chavot).
