Faire face à l’Anthropocène. Les voies du droit by Isabelle Michallet

Faire face à l’Anthropocène. Les voies du droit is a book by Isabelle Michallet, published by Éditions deux-cent-cinq. For the design, French graphic design studio Bureau 205 used Damien Gautier’s Plaax and Tassiana Nuñez Costa⁠’s Thelo.

Isabelle Michallet explores the ways in which the law can respond to today’s ecological emergency. In the last century, legal rules were fundamentally anthropocentric, often reflecting a generalized logic of predation and destruction. Today, the law must integrate the end of this model.

Considering that the legal instrument is not only constructed by bodies dominated by politics, she shows that it is also the expression of societal and citizen choices.

The headlines are set in Plaax Sathonay LightB. Continuous text and footnotes use Thelo Text. The book has 116 pages and measures 9,5×15,7 cm. Printed by Ott in Wasselonne, France.
