En amour by Regards Coupables
En amour (“in love”) is a book from Regards Coupables (a pseudonym under which “a sculptor” published their erotic drawings), featuring over 70 illustrations and 60 quotes by the artist. It was published by Hachette in September 2021. Antica is used throughout in multiple styles and weight. Design by Theo Contestin, who writes:
Composed of illustrations and poetic texts, the book en amour is built on a progression from black to red, to characterize the amplification of the expression of desire and love, from the playful approach to the ecstasy of bodies. This amplification of desire resonates in the typography, with the growth of the letters or the variation of their shapes, as the proximity of the merging souls progresses throughout the book.
