Paris Typographie – Marguerite Chaillou
A typographical tour of the French capital in which the author presents the Gothic writings on the stained-glass windows of the churches, the steles of Père-Lachaise, the graffiti of street art, the illuminated signs of Pigalle or the signage of the Japanese, Chinese and Indian districts.Posters, signs, placards, stencils, neon lights or graffiti... Each era, each district, each monument of the capital can be told through its typography.Because if the words carry the meaning, their forms share their soul. In 700 unpublished photographs, Marguerite Chaillou makes us discover the charm and the splendor of an unusual Paris. A Paris that gives itself to be seen, in full.
