These exhibition catalogs for FRAC (Fonds régional d’art contemporain de Lorraine in Metz, France) were designed by Nik Thoenen for temporary art exhibitions in the center.
The FRAC font, a monolinear all caps typeface without curves, was designed by Nik Thoenen in 2003 to create a new signage and thereafter also the corporate design for FRAC. The design of the typeface is based on a 7×7 dot grid inspired by early CAD-fonts, using only capital letters. The lower case letters are laid out with arrows.
