Jean Moulin, Les voise de la liberté
The Center for the History of the Resistance and Deportation of Lyon (CHRD) unveils an exquisite exhibition, complemented by a catalog that delves into the rich historical and memorial tapestry of Jean Moulin. The narrative unfolds through the perspectives of those who shared moments with him, wrote about him, or pondered over his legacy. Jean Moulin, a multifaceted figure – an artist, a prefect, a resilient resistor, a cherished friend, and a devoted brother – is brought to life through a curated collection of correspondences, artistic renderings, and poignant testimonies.
The beautiful book design was realized by Perluette & BeauFixe.
The catalog is adorned with a regal Pantone blue, elegantly sweeping across the cover, text, and as a subtle backdrop to noteworthy quotes. The layout is a meticulous dance, seamlessly alternating between thought-provoking essays, investigative revelations, and a visually captivating portfolio.
Reflecting the reported elegance that defined Jean Moulin, the choice of typography for the titles is Norman (from the Resistenza foundry). This deliberate selection not only pays homage to his character but also boldly asserts the distinctiveness of this publication, breaking away from the conventional design norms associated with recounting the somber chapters of history.
Norman Bold is used on the cover, on white and in every chapter title inside the book. It is paired with Jeremy Tribby’s Barlow.
