Les Tragédiens is Jean Desbordes’s first novel, published by Grasset in 1931. It tells the story of a son’s love for his mother until the painful separation. This book, which has never been republished since, is read and performed by Olivier Charneux—a writer, playwright, and director—during special evening readings.

For the occasion, Toan Vu-Huu uses BVH Anto Rounded Italic in a colorful poster.

The poster was exhibited at the 31st International Poster Competition at Le Signe, the National Graphic Design Center in Chaumont (France).
