Summer of Seum (seum is “anger” / “frustration” in French slang) is a micro music festival taking place in the summer of 2025 in Paris and its suburbs. It focuses on “evil songs, incontralble electronic musics, outsiders black metal, evil popstars, decaying post-punk…”.
Atelier AAAAA, also co-organisers of the event with their label Croux Records, designed electric posters featuring the faux-Asian font Chinese Dragon for the main title and for the first letter of most words, as a kind of funky capitalization. The rest of the text is set in the cousins NaN Rage Zipp and NaN Rage Poly. The pointiness of Zipp makes it a logical companion for the sharpness of Chinese Dragon, reminiscent of fictitious brush strokes. Fluo colours, glow effects, spiky fonts, the posters are a clear reflection of the aggressive and troubling nature of the musics played during the festival.
