Sciences Po, also known as the Paris Institute of Political Studies is a research university located in Paris, France. They have their own publishing house, mostly publishing essays from researchers. They are now launching a bi-annual magazine focusing on the actuality of research, with a political angle. The first issue, released in April 2024, is titled “Une Europe fragmentée ?” which translates to “A Fragmented Europe?”. The many illustrations opening most articles are by Félix de Combat.

The whole first issue of Comprendre son temps is freely accessible as a PDF.

The magazine features a changing typographic cocktail, bringing new titling fonts for each issue while keeping Tekst A and NaN Metrify A (mostly in its Wide subfamily) for texts and sub-headings for all issues. A duo of contrasting sans serifs is sharing the spotlight for this first issue. Bureau Brut's Ostia Antica, in all caps, shows its very classical proportions inspired by monumental inscriptions while Brieface's Falser Grotesk appears very geometric and modern in comparison. The difference of proportion between the very wide round letters in Ostia Antica and quite narrow in Falser, is quite startling.

NaN Metrify is mostly used in its wider versions for all introductory paragraphs and recurring info, grounding the layout with subtle confidence. Teskt, in it A version (for Analog), the only serif of the four typefaces, strikes by its very organic, soft and calligraphic influences in comparison with the three sans serifs. As the text duo, Metrify and Tekst are opposite in their construction, contrast amount, but also in proportions, AAAAA using Metrify in its Wide subfamily while Tekst sports a quite narrow fit.

BC Falster Grotesk is the typeface used in Werklig’s identity for INARO:

INARO is an integrated architecture office creating comprehensive design by weaving together urban planning, building design and landscape architecture. They place special emphasis on the relationship between built form and its environment.

Comprehensive book about beloved French choreographer and dancer Jerôme Bel (b. 1964) and his craft, published on the occasion of his first solo exhibition at Center for Contemporary Art Luigi Pecci in Prato, Italy, curated by Antonia Alampi. Studio Moretti Visani used BC Falster Grotesk for the bilingual book as well as for the poster.

From publisher SilvanaEditoriale:

The show brings together a selection of his most significant works to investigate the many possibilities of translating performance within the duration of an exhibition. It is time, more than space, that characterizes this project. Hence the title 76′ 38″ + ∞ that alludes to the duration, to the sum of the lengths of the videos on view: an encouragement to observe the works on display from the beginning to the end, a classical norm in theatres, an unusual behaviour in the museum. Here ∞ refers to the countless possibilities of a new dance, an on-going one created specifically for the Centro Pecci: a work without an end, thought to be experienced from a few seconds to eternity.

This is a personal redesign of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by the French duo Daft Punk, originally released in October 2001 as the fourth single from their second studio album Discovery.

The cover is exclusively made with code in Processing, generating over 4,000 possibile combinations. To make it kind of glitchy, I used the copy function, taking adjacent tiles and copying with a sorta of delay, in order to noise wave generated numbers.

I selected the best image in terms of negative space and overall equilibrium, and next I designed the back and the inside of the CD.

Luxury underwear. The idiosyncratic BC Falster Grotesk for big type, with the related but more reserved Univers for small text. A solid pairing.

Free Your Funk strikes again by inviting the fresh scene of future bass music: Lido (who is now producing for big artists like Kanye West), Point Point, Canblaster and DJ Slow.

The poster follows the graphics code developped in the previous collaborations between Free Your Funk and République, using a different typeface for every new artwork.
