Conceived as a travelling exhibition, ECAL A Typographic Atlas reflects ECAL’s long-standing commitment to contemporary graphic and type design. The project presents a wide selection of 300 typefaces created by ECAL's Type Design Master and Graphic Design Bachelor students from around the world.
The exhibition is structured around a single indexing approach, reflected in a modular display system designed by Adrien Rovero . Typography is treated here as a practice that is visual, cultural, and linguistic at once.
Produced by Giliane Cachin
and Eurostandard, and published by Empire Books, the 536-page book unfolds like a vast map covering the entire spectrum of contemporary typographic genres.
