Emmanuel Labard
French art director. In 2014, Yoann Minet made the bespoke typeface Stratos with art direction by Emmanuel Labard. Stratos is retailed in 2016 by Production Type, which writes: Stratos is a geometric grotesque whose peculiar utility is derived from unusual ideas about proportion. It eschews conventional notions of typographic relationships---not just for novel effect, but to empower the user to do more interesting things with type. The first and most obvious of these surprises can be seen in the difference between its upper- and lowercase. The caps are condensed, inspired by gothic wood type of the 20th century, while the minuscules are akin to certain classic geometric sans serifs.. Also, Stratos implements multiplexing: all weights occupy the same space on the page. |
