ÉTIENNE+ROBIAL, ALPHABETS+TRACÉS+LOGOTYPES – Etienne Robial

Etienne Robial is a key figure in the graphic design and publishing industry, at the crossroads of several disciplines: artist, publisher, teacher and designer. In this book, he brings together his memoirs as a visual manipulator and historian of form. The designer of the most influential television visual identity of the 20th century (Canal+) submits to posterity the complete body of all his work, all his personal research and famous and little-known contributions based on the alphabets he designed throughout his career.

On 400 pages lavishly illustrated with photos and sketches from his personal archives (over 2000 documents), Etienne Robial himself details and comments on 50 years of work that now belongs to France’s cultural heritage (Futuropolis, Métal Hurlant, A Suivre, L’Equipe, Les Inrocks, PSG…). Etienne Robial’s key relationship with alphabets, his science, art and erudition of letter and image inhabit the pages of this book and are now to be shared with all lovers of art, design and history; whether laymen, students or professionals.
