La revue de l’Observatoire

Published March 4, 2025

Studio Boulon created the art direction for the first issue of the Observatoire des Tiers-Lieux (“Observatory of Third Places”), named La revue de l’Observatoire by France Tiers-Lieux (an organization that supports the development, professionalization and sustainability of third places in France).

This project is based on a pair of typefaces: Ginka (from lift-type) and IBM Plex (from IBM), with illustrations by Laurie Agusti Derimay.

Julie Soudanne, the type designer behind Ginka, shares her perspective on the project:

The first issue of the Observatory of Third Places immerses you behind the scenes of third places mobilized for the ecological transition, through portraits of initiatives, interviews, and analyses focused on three main themes: sustainable Experimentation, Food, and Local Production.
