I’m looking for a typeface description I read somewhere, going something like “The simple man’s Futura” (could be another typeface). Does it ring a bell?

Do people asking you to pay to feature in a list/index really believe that they are doing “curation”?

Little paperback designed for my friend Luca Eminenti Chanteau. Luca conducted interviews with seven young architects who chose to establish their practices in a rural environment. This humble and interesting book transcribes their discussions. I used my own typeface Cedrat Text in Light &amp; Bold (+italics) for the book and I’m very happy with how the whole thing turned out! Cedrat is available @formagari
