Tout le gentil garçon / All of the nice guy

This book is a tribute to Le Gentil Garçon’s (“The Nice Guy”) childhood passion for encyclopedias. Many articles by different contributors and artists are collected, as well as maps and a timeline showing the places where the artist exhibited and worked, along with the cultural contexts and historical events that influenced his work. The design by Huz & Bosshard plays with the structure of an encyclopedia.

Hi there

Which font can we see on the third photo, in the middle of the third line and in the beginning of the fourth line?

Thanks

Salut Arnaud,

this is Stockmar’s most cursive italic cut with swash caps, see also Prix d’Art Robert Schuman. Stockmar was originally designed with three italics. The retail version available from 205TF only has a single italic which is more restrained. You can try asking Matthieu Cortat; the old version might be available on request.
