Résistance
Velvetyne · A collective (Pauline Cormault, Esther Michaud, Claire Mucchieli, Merlin Andreae, Raphaël Maman, Pedro Gomes-Cardoso, Juliette Nier, Gabrielle Meistretty, Damien Bauza) · 2015
A geometric curveless sans built collectively by ENSAD Paris students, its name playing on several meanings of resistance at once.
About
Résistance came out of a group of ENSAD Paris students working together at La Générale, building the family in Glyphr Studio. The name works on several registers at once: historical resistance, physical resistance and electrical resistance, and the geometric, curveless letterforms were a genuinely collective decision rather than one designer's hand.
