The first issue in a collection of typographic specimens, each inviting a designer to create a fictional story around one of their typefaces, this volume is by Grégoire Romanet, who has repurposed 18th-century Texas Cattle Brand symbols to create a typeface. The accompanying story—a collage of words taken from old Westerns—is a poetic and surreal text, rich in imagery, which borrows from noir Westerns while cultivating a certain absurdity.
Grégoire Romanet (born 1973) is a French graphic designer and scenographer.
