Le Murmure
Velvetyne · Jérémy Landes · 2018
A highly condensed titling sans commissioned for a French design agency, with random alternate letters keeping the rhythm unpredictable.
About
Le Murmure was drawn as a bespoke titling face for the French agency Murmure, condensed hard enough to sit comfortably in magazine-style headlines. Jérémy Landes of Studio Triple built in a deliberate rhythm of mismatched characters, and random OpenType substitution keeps swapping in more unusually drawn alternates. Alex Slobzheninov added Cyrillic and George Triantafyllakos added Greek. The design picked up a Red Dot Grand Prix and a TDC Certificate of Excellence.
