Graphisme en France 2026

Published May 21, 2026

Published since 1994 by Cnap, Graphisme en France is aimed at graphic designers, clients, and students. Each edition explores a theme in graphic design through a variety of perspectives.

This 32nd issue is devoted to the book, a central object in the practice of graphic designers: a source of inspiration, a tool for communication, and a space for experimentation. Through complementary approaches, the collected contributions examine the book in its most minimal forms, its materiality, its modes of circulation, and the uses it inspires.

Gabriele Čepulytė, researcher and educator, explores the minimal forms of the book and demonstrates how its materiality plays a full role in the production of meaning
Vincent Tuset-Anrès, graphic designer, publisher, and curator, shares his research on publishing in Japan, spanning production, distribution, and uses
Jérôme Knebusch, designer, publisher, and lecturer-researcher, reflects on his interest in small-format publications and their power of dissemination

The graphic design for this issue was entrusted to me, Sarah Fenrich , a graduate of the École européenne supérieure d’art de Bretagne (EESAB). In keeping with the theme, I have created a publication that reveals the book’s various sensory dimensions: a perforated, removable cover; a layout that takes into account the diversity of the texts; and a design that is sensitive to both reading and handling.

The typefaces used are Louize, designed by Matthieu Cortat, distributed by 205TF; Venus+ Acier, designed by Jonas A. Renaud, distributed by U+270D; Hiragino Mincho and Hiragino Kaku Gothic by Jiyu-kobo and distributed by Screen Graphic Solutions Co..

The book was printed by Média Graphic.
