On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the French National Research Agency (ANR), we conceived and designed a publication for the MOJO project – one of six scientific projects honoured during the anniversary evening held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). The event celebrated two decades of research funding by giving a platform to the scientists and projects that have shaped the ANR’s history.
The MOJO project is grounded in the research of Alessandro Morbidelli, a planetary scientist at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, at the J.-L. Lagrange Laboratory, and Professor at the Collège de France. Funded by the ANR in 2013, the project investigates the role of giant planets in the formation of planetary systems.
Developed by Yasmine Abouchar, Quentin Dissard, Kevin Forest, and Hélène Trinh, the project explores a visual language inspired by orbital dynamics, gravitational phenomena, and scientific representations of the cosmos. The art direction is built around a precise, rigorous, and calibrated use of typography, centred on Mabrok and Renai Serif – two typefaces distributed by the Babelfont type foundry. Their formal contrasts and editorial discipline structure a graphic system that weaves together, illustrations, diagrams, and pictograms, in order to visually convey the notions of movement, collision, and trajectory inherent to planetary dynamics.
