From the press release:
(...) MAC VAL (Musée d'Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne) has undertaken a major investigation into the subject of the “fait-divers”, resulting in a major exhibition bringing together 80 artists from a wide range of backgrounds and formal practices. (...) The inspiration for the theme came from Roland Barthes‘ essay Structure of the Fait-Divers (1964). Described by the semiologist as the “unorganized discard of news,” the fait-divers help us to name and identify the aberrant causalities and coincidental relationships that disrupt everyday life.
The bilingual French-English exhibition catalog for Faits divers was designed by Félicité Landrivon. The typographic design features a range of typefaces, inclduing KTF Rublena, KTF Metro Roman, and KTF Metro Blueline, all by Kyiv Type Foundry. The dot matrix font seen on the cover, the inner flaps and elsewhere is WL Rasteroids by Writ Large. The italic on the cover comes from 205TF’s Exposure, which is also used in upright form for the text inside the book, alongside Fluxisch Else, OSP-foundry’s digitzation of the Selectric version of Univers. The monospaced font is GUST’s Latin Modern Typewriter. Credits at the end are set in Transducer by JTD Type. In addition, Landrivon used a few other fonts just once for titles, but these are not displayed here and are therefore not listed.
256 pages, 268 images, 20×27 cm. See more images on the designer’s Instagram account.
