Graphic design and production of the book Les métropoles face aux défis de la densité (“Metropolises facing the challenges of density”), published by the Grand Paris metropolis. Written in French, the book was printed in 1,000 copies over 336 pages, in a 170×240 mm format with Otabind binding. It was designed by Clément Le Tulle-Neyret, with assistance from Romain Laurent.

The running text is typeset in Haultin, a typeface designed by Fred Smeijers inspired by the work of the 16th-century French punchcutter Pierre Haultin, who specialized in engraving small typefaces.

The idea of density in cities goes back from the end of the 19th century. It was interesting to use AL Milano designed by Alex Lescieux to typeset titles, a typeface based on Adstyle from the early 20th century, when density was at the heart of cities.
