Nicoletta – “Enfants venez chanter l’espoir” / “Viens te balader au creux de mes chansons” single cover
French designer Jean Alessandrini (b. 1942) designed more than twenty typefaces, in all kinds of styles. So far, we’ve only documented in-use examples of his Hypnos.
Here’s another one, of the typeface that bears the designer’s name: Alessandrini 7 is a monolinear design based on modular shape, a spiral with two centers. It was drawn for Hollenstein in 1972 and was also available from TypoGabor. The only digitization that I’m aware of is unreleased. Lucas Liccini made it in 2020 as part of his Revivals & Renditions student project at UdK Berlin.
“Enfants venez chanter l’espoir” (“Children, come sing of hope”) is a song by pop singer Nicoletta (b. 1944). It was released in 1973 on Riviera Records.
The B-side is titled “Viens te balader au creux de mes chansons” (“Come take a stroll through my songs”).
