During the complete overhaul of the Institut de France brand identity, we have created an exclusive titling typography to embody the "voice" of the Institut de France and the Academies. While respecting their heritage, we aimed at bringing modernity and know-how. Our inspiration comes from the beginnings of French printing and typographic creation, in particular the Roman lower cases of Nicolas Jenson; the capitals are inspired by the lapidary inscriptions engraved on the Palace of the Institute’s pediment. In addition to the basic set of capitals, a series of alternate letters and ligatures have been created to diversify and enrich the titling compositions. Emphasis has been placed on detail and elegance, however, the shapes remain simple: with sobriety, the typography imposes its timeless beauty.
