Vitamiin in use for Hüvasti, noorus! / Bye-bye, Youth! – an exhibition and a publication by the Estonian Health Museum, curated by Ülle Kask and Anna Rinaldo. Graphic design by Viktor Gurov with Martin Merirand, exhibition architecture by Valge Kuup Studio.

From the museum’s website:

No one remains indifferent to aging. Each person has a deeply personal and unique relationship with it. For some, it signals a gradual retreat from active life, while for others, it brings newfound freedom and the joy of new challenges.

Candid reflections by Laura Kalle, Marju Karin, Haide Männamäe, Toomas Tross, Valner Valme, Tõnu Õnnepalu, Helgi Põllo, and Margus Mikomägi offer a chance to connect with different aspects of aging and to seek balance and meaning at every stage of life.

Graffiti doesn’t just live on walls anymore, it lives in feeds. Consumed in seconds, from top to bottom. The title goes beyond a slang term, it reflects how we see and scroll through (sub)culture today: fast, fleeting, and often replaceable.

The first issue of TOP2BOTTOM (T2B) dives 144 pages deep into the Swabian avant-garde stretching from Stuttgart to Lake Constance. What started as an open call for submissions turned into a collective snapshot of the region’s scene, blending community-sent photos with personal field documentation collected over the past two years. It’s an analog response to digital noise, a way to slow things down and document subcultural fragments that might be gone tomorrow. Featuring key actors of the southern scene presented in textual contributions and showcased as four special chapters.

For the typography, I used Aether by DDOTT and Neue Montreal by Pangram Pangram. The magazine has 144 pages measuring 170×240 mm and comes with a thread binding. It was printed in Stuttgart in a limited edition of 100 copies – which sold out within 24 hours. Published via T2B Press.

Plain Text is a printed publication for exploratory type design, edited and designed by Lucas Descroix and Benjamin Dumond, and published by type foundry Plain Form. The second issue launched in July 2025.

From Plain Form:

From fiction to theory, from mystical analyses to visual works, Plain Text aims at exploring typographic imaginaries, moving beyond a strictly historical and technical framework, with a taste for the unknown and the dormant potential of writing.

This second issue includes contributions by Hervé Aracil, Tim Brookes (Endangered Alphabets), Aliona Ciobanu, Lucas Descroix, Benjamin Dumond, Mardi Forestier, Inscript festival, Elenor Kopka, Marcus Leis Allion, Pierre Pané-Farré (with HAW Hamburg students), Simon Renaud and Alec Vivier-Reynaud.

The texts of this black-and-white, bilingual publication are all set in the unreleased duo Basically Serif for the English and Basically Sans for the French. Additional information is set in Baskemo, also Serif and Sans, an automatically monospaced-and-skelefont’ed companion to Basically.

A number of display typefaces designed by Lucas Descroix and/or Benjamin Dumond are used throughout, for the title of each contribution as well as various emphasis moments. These include: Michaux, Grandmaster, Disc, Jester (in several styles), Ready Active and Clouded and an early version of the upcoming Ferro. Some unreleased display typefaces, either old or future, are also used but not shown here in the pictures.

The fiction work by Mardi Forestier is set in Exposure by Federico Parra Barrios. Imagined together with the author, the layout is an attempt at using an experimental typeface to underline and augment narration, its variations manifesting the idea of breath.

Blason is a small yet extensive publication gathering more than 100 photographs of coats of arms collected in France, as well as elsewhere in Europe, during the summer of 2025. This curatorial work marks the beginning of my DSAA diploma project and my dissertation at ENSAAMA, both dedicated to this same theme. The investigation explores how these symbols appear across different media, using a range of techniques: embroidery, stained glass, engraving, stone, wood… Each spread thus connects a context, a technique, a material, and a coat of arms.

These educational objects were imagined by the Public Outreach Department for young audiences on the occasion of the reopening of the MAMC+ in November 2024. MAMC+ is the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Saint-Étienne Métropole in east-central France.

Système Sensible, a graphic duo composed of Charlotte Gauvin and Matthieu Meyer, designed the graphic identity and the layout of Plus, the museum’s magazine for young audiences.

The issues have 48 pages, measure 194×280 mm, and were Riso printed on Munken Print White 115 g/m² and Munken Pure Rough 150 g/m².

The Internet era has deeply reshaped how we produce, consume and communicate. But despite living in an increasingly connected society the astounding amount of information we meet online can quickly overwhelm us.

Delving into these issues, my thesis project Turning Clicks into Pages explores the relationship between analog and digital media in the contemporary landscape. The work deconstructs Twitter’s navigation system into tangible matter, proposing a hybrid experience between material and immaterial space-time. What happens when information that was never meant to become physical is saved as something permanent? Detached from its original context, does the reading experience remain the same?

The Saisons Culturelles poster

Following the creation of the town of Chaumont’s visual identity, the Baldinger•Vu-Huu studio team started work on the sub-identity for Chaumont’s Cultural Seasons. The city of Chaumont boasts a rich cultural programme. As well as being the city of graphic design, it also wants to showcase the city’s cultural offering. To this end, eight years ago, they launched the “Saisons Culturelles”, supported by a newspaper, a website and posters, which are renewed every year.

It was necessary to create a sub-identity, with a visual link to the main identity in order to clearly identify the sender, but at the same time distinct from it in order to be recognized as something special. To achieve this, the Baldinger•Vu-Huu studio used Dina Chaumont, the typeface family they created for the city of Chaumont, and designed new pictograms, abstract shapes that are freer and more organic. On top of that, they played with a bright and bold color palette.
