Constellations maps

I designed a new typographic specimen of the free font Manifont Grotesk designed by Alexandre Liziard and Etienne Ozeray. Manifont Grotesk was designed from the skeleton of the Vremena grotesk. It has no curves and it is its outgoing appearance, which makes it so recognizable, that made me think of constellations.

This new specimen groups together 11 constellation maps, with information on each of them concerning their position, the surface of the constellation, its brightness. Each card is punched. These perforations represent the different stars that make up the constellation. Thus these perforations let glimpse the photograms of dust that I slipped between each card. Finally, two large posters complete the specimen.

 

Funny Classifications

This series of posters was produced entirely by hand for the exhibition MEGA BITES which took place at the Zoological Museum of Strasbourg in 2019. I created new playful animal classifications from the animals present in the museum.

 

Each poster is made with a different engraving technique that corresponds to the appearance of the animal. I used the embossing for the missing animals, the dry point which allows a finesse to represent Les Minus, the lithography which brings textures for Les Larveux, and finally etching on tetrapak which keeps the fold mark for Les Affreux.
