Curated by ECAL, this project brings together over 300 typefaces created by ECAL students from around the world, developed within the Master Type Design and Bachelor Graphic Design programmes.
Presented as a typographic atlas, the exhibition is structured around a single indexing approach. This system is translated into a modular display designed by Adrien Rovero . Alphabetical entries and numerical coordinates form a navigational framework, inviting visitors to move through a typographic territory.
Typography is treated as a visual, cultural and linguistic practice, from experimental forms to functional families and multiscript projects, encouraging us to reconsider how type mediates everyday communication.
ECAL A Typographic Atlas also comes in the form of a 536-page book published by Empire Books and designed by Giliane Cachin and Eurostandard.
Conceived as a travelling exhibition, ECAL A Typographic Atlas reflects ECAL’s long-standing commitment to contemporary graphic and type design.
