La gazette du parc
Printed in 4,500 copies and distributed in Geneva’s La Jonction quarter, this gazette allowed the people to participate, to inform themselves, to reflect and to dream about the future Parc of the Pointe de la Jonction, a place that was left vacant by the departure of the TPG buses at the end of 2020.
The role of this gazette was to announce the activities that took place on the site during the summer of 2021. It became one of the tools for consultation for the creation of this new space in collaboration with the citizens, the Forum Pointe de la Jonction and the associations and the City of Geneva.
The masthead of la gazette du parc is set in Forgotten Shapes’ Schmale Egyptienne No. 12 FSL, while for the body text Production Type’s Proto Slab is used. Spicing up this typographic palette are colorful illustrations by Popy Matigot and titling fonts that change with each of the four issues that have been published. These include Clementhorpe Italic (no. 1), Bagerich (no. 2), CirrusCumulus (no. 3), and Garaje 1803 (no. 4).
All issues are available for download as pdfs.
