UN-11 is the typeface used for the visual identity of the architecture agency Radio architectes.

The mini-website designed by WA75 showcases a selection of project of the agency. By moving the cursor, the user can reveal images of the projects hidden behind the text.

UN-11 is a strong component of the identity. The shape of the letters looks familiar, as it is adapted from the iconic Univers, but the sentences and paragraphs highlight its Selectric typewriter character.

The website for Philippe Tourriol, designed by WA75, showcases the artist’s work in both Paris, France, and Marfa, Texas.

The artist’s name is set as concrete poetry in HEX Franklin, a typeface inspired by the iconic Franklin Gothic type family. Meanwhile, the main text is set in Standard, Bryce Wilner’s interpretation of Akzidenz-Grotesk. The third font at play is a custom version of C059 Roman, a version of Century Schoolbook by URW remixed by WA75.

Musée du Débarquement Arromanches is a museum dedicated to the memory of D-Day in the Second World War, located in Arromanches in Normandy, France. It was initially built in 1954 facing the sea where the artificial harbour Mulberry B (B for British) operated. After almost 70 years of activity, a new building opened in 2023. The new museum was designed by the Projectiles architecture agency.

The graphic design for the permanent exhibition was done by WA75 (Laurent Mészáros & Yorel Cayla), using BN Times Gothic, LL Medium and Routed Gothic.

Each sequence in the exhibition is indicated by a solid white area. The imposing titles set in all-caps BN Times Gothic are the result of a process of analysis and synthesis, to keep just one title for all languages. Text is set in LL Medium, which functions as a true text font, sharing common roots with titles. The many maps produced by the agency are set in Routed Gothic, reminiscent of maps design with a pantograph font.

The graphic design for the wayfinding system and the exhibition was done by WA75 (Laurent Mészáros & Yorel Cayla), using BN Times Gothic. The imposing wayfinding information is painted on the concrete walls in a white area, which provides a brutalist response to the building. This graphic composition first appeared on the concrete caissons (Phoenix breakwaters) built as part of the artificial harbour.
