Noël Leu
Noël Leu is one of the cofounders of Grilli in Bern (while studying at the University of the Arts Bern in Visual Communication and Literature Writing). Leu designed GT Walsheim (2009) based on the Walsheim Neger poster by Swiss poster designer Otto Baumberger (1889-1961). It is a stunning geometric grotesk with a bouquet of art deco. Thierry Blancpain dedicated a page to Baumberger and GT Walsheim, and points out that for the Cyrillic portion, Noël Leu was assisted by Mirco Schiavone. In 2014, Dominic Huber, Marc Kappeler and Noel Leu published the extensive text family GT Sectra (Grilli Type), which, in view if its breadth and angular design will prove to be one the world's major releases of 2014. Their blurb: GT Sectra was originally designed for the German-language magazine Reportagen, a bi-monthly publication specializing in literary reporting. Its long-form stories require a typeface that works well in text, but not at the expense of character. GT Sectra strikes that balance. |
