Tupi or not Tupi booklets
From design studio Keys (with added links):
For the exhibition Tupi or not Tupi at Palais de Tokyo, we were invited to create a publication documenting the work of artist Lívia Melzi on Tupinambá cloaks, from the Tupi warrior tribes who lived along the Brazilian coast.
Printed in 200 copies signed by the artist, the publication is made up of two booklets which bring together a text written by Lior Zisman Zalis and images created by the artist, questioning the discourses constructed around these artifacts preserved today in European museums.
Echoing Melzi’s work, the binding of the booklets creates an unexpected relationship between the facing images where French arts de la table, colonial travel stories and cultural cannibalism meet.
This project was realized thanks to the support of the Brazilian Embassy in Paris.
Totentanz is paired with a yet unidentified sans. [edit: it’s Acumin, see comments.]

Besides it, on page 20 it says that Acumin is used, though the name of the designer is wrong.
Thank you, Akira! I’ve added Acumin and two images that provide a better view of the book’s typography.
