La Graphie Latine
Artistic movement that took place in France during the 1950s and early 1960s. It supported the human calligraphic gesture and the elegance of the mediterranean typographic style. It was started by Spanish graphic and type designer Enric Crous-Vidal (1908-1987). Other participants and followers include typographer Maximilien Vox and type designer José Mendoza y Almeida. It was opposed to the neutral and structured style developed in Switzerland and Germany. Typefaces that characterize this movement include those by Enric Crous-Vidal (Flash (1953), Paris (1953), and Île de France (1960)), and some by Mendoza (such as ITC Mendoza). A recent typographic homage to the movement was paid by Argentinian type designer Charlie Zinno in his typeface Latinité (2010). |
