The 71st Rencontres de Lure, titled “Lure et compagnie” (Lure and co.) was a tribute to the richness of the individual characters that make up an ensemble.

The programme was created fanzine-style to echo the idea of collective work, which was the central theme of last year’s session: copy machine look, rough hand-drawn letters, very simple hierarchy, a single font family (BTP from A is for fonts) and minimum size variation. However, since diversity and inclusivity were also a strong subject, several inclusive glyphs from various fonts can be found everywhere as little stickers stuck where needed in the text. The goal was to make them voluntarily visible and disruptive, as a mockery of criticism about their legibility or discretion in texts.

On the cover beautiful ribbons allowed people to draw their own glyph, sign or letter, acting as a metaphor of the bonds that binds us all together.
