Les lettres sont de belles manières de voyager, Lycée Maurice Genevoix

Les lettres sont de belles manières de voyager (“Letters are a great way to travel”) is a graphic project carried out as part of the “1% for art” initiative for the extension of the Maurice Genevoix high school in Ingré, located in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

This project is based on the creation of a typeface family designed for the users of the high school. To support the project and see these fonts in use, various graphic objects and interventions, at different scales, were produced. The library’s signage uses the Genevoix typefaces in the form of adhesive foil letters. Then, a freer intervention exploits the potential of the typographic forms through the play of letters and colors as window stickers, tinting the light that enters the high school corridor. The name of the high school is also typeset in Genevoix Display on two sides of the facade.
