Infos
Our duo is unique: Julie is also a visual artist, while Francis has specialized in typeface design, honing his skills at the Atelier National de Recherche Typographique. Our entire energy is devoted to creation. We have a deep understanding of the challenges associated with the cultural sector. Our aim is to produce simple forms that are not dry, minimalistic without being pretentious, stable without being dull, impactful without being vulgar, and experimental without being unreadable. For each project, our primary focus is on providing an effective solution that meets clear strategic objectives.
