Leka is a sandwich shop located in Salzburg, Austria, serving up a modern take on the traditional Leberkässemmel (meatloaf sandwich).

The branding was created by Austria-based designer Lukas Diemling. The custom-drawn Leka logo was designed to evoke a mustard stain. All headlines are set in all-caps Rodger Black by Central Type, while the smaller secondary type is Pachinko by A is for: two rounded typefaces that make a delicious combination.

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.

Mon nom est Billy des nuages by Éva Offredo is a beautifully illustrated children's book about Billy, a young boy expected to become a cowboy. However, he dreams of exploring the world and embarks on a journey through diverse landscapes like the taiga, fjords, and mangroves. The book is divided into three parts: an adventure story, a travel journal with sketches and observations, and a documentary-style section about nature. A complementary soundtrack by Artuan de Lierrée enhances the reading experience. The book is a poetic and educational ode to exploration and wonder.

Published by Maison Georges, the book uses Tarnac, a typeface designed by Marc Rouault. He describes his design as a particularly French style of slanted Égyptienne. Its wonky proportions and flat-interior bowl shapes are an intractable aesthetic element of French culture and even the French countryside itself – as featured in many of the Panneaux Michelin road signs. The typography also features the monospaced Pachinko Italic by French designer Émilie Rigaud.

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).

Graphic designer Jeanne Triboul took care of the colourful visual identity of Césure, a place in Paris dedicated to the transmission of knowledge and skills. For this purpose, she also designed the logotype [using Fat Albert, see comments] and a set of monoline black and white illustrations. The whole identity has been conceived using the Pachinko font family (designed by Émilie Rigaud), from the posters on site to the signage, from the website to the social media communication.

Césure is a 25,000 m² workspace that has hosted more than 190 structures and 2,000 students since the summer of 2022. It has become a testing ground to invent new ways of learning from each other. Césure has opened its doors to the public in the spring of 2023 around a cultural and festive program, with a cafeteria, a 1000 m² Grand Plateau, an amphitheater, an interior courtyard and many other spaces to discover.

Avaler la Terre (“Swallow the Earth”) is a manga by Osamu Tezuka. It was translated to the French by Jacques Lalloz and Patrick Honnoré and published by Éditions FLBLB. It depicts the story of a scorned woman who makes her seven daughters promise to deliver the society of men to chaos, starting with issues with money and morals.

The whole book is set in Emilie Rigaud’s Pachinko (A is for fonts), a rounded font deeply rooted in Japanese culture, from which it derives its first inspiration and final name. The title uses Jérémy Landes’ Le Murmure (Velvetyne).

Program for an event of artistic performances at the Villa Kujoyama of Kyôto, in Japan.

The Villa Kujoyama is a French artistic residency that welcomes designers and artists of all fields who want to develop projects in a Japanese context for two to six months.

This program has been designed in a collective way by the artists present at the Villa at that time: the graphic designer Alexandru Balgiu, with Flore Falcinelli, Céline Pelcé, and Krikor Kouchian.
