Nicéphore and its alternative glyphs on Fanette Mellier’s cover

Art direction and editorial design by studio deValence for the Prisme Collection, directed by Tony Côme and Alexandre Dimos. The collection gathers long-term interviews of graphic designers, scenographers, architects, typographers, object and fashion designers, who share their experiences, memories, and working process. Prisme offers fundamental sources for understanding the role of the designer, told by designers themselves.

Shown here are the first three books published in this series. The cover and headlines are set in Nicéphore, while the footnotes and captions appear in Pachinko. Additionally, each edition features distinct typefaces for the body text: Tongari for Fanette Mellier (2021), Media for Étienne Robial (2022), and JJannon with Perec for Rudi Meyer (2023).
