Presented at the Louvre Abu Dhabi in spring 2018, Le Monde en Sphères (Globes. Visions of the World) was an exhibition designed by BnF (Bibliothèque nationale de France) presenting almost 200 impressive works, objects of art and knowledge, from the collections of the BnF and from private collections, which embody on spherical vision of the world: terrestrial and celestial globes, armillary spheres, astrolabes and manuscripts.

For the exhibition Michelines Studio designed a catalogue that explores the history of the spherical representation of the world from antiquity to contemporary times showing terrestrial and celestial globes, armillary spheres, astrolabes and manuscripts.

The catalogue uses Pathos from R-typography paired with Prensa by Occupant Fonts. The cover typeface appears to be Linotype’s Neuzeit S or similar.
