Fontevraud

‘Emotion stands in the unexpected’. A custom font a royal abbey, now cultural center.
Collaboration with Jérémie Fesson, Graphéine Paris.

One of the larger abbeys of Europe, Fontevraud has been recently turned into a cultural center, focussing on art, sustainable development, digital technology, and hospitality. The stencil font made for its signage system as well as whole communication is accompanied by a series of pictograms, and special ligatures. Used throughout all publications, websites, restaurant and hotel supplies, it gives the Fontevraud Project a recognisable identity, delicate and contemporary.

Multiple possibilities among ligatures.
