Bayeux

Type design / 2023

Design of a typeface and a textile edition inspired by the Bayeux tapestry during a workshop led by Juanma Gomez and Marie Lécrivain in 2023. Based on the embroidery stitches of the Bayeux tapestry, the typeface, in pixels, preserves the singularities of the original letters while offering a digital interpretation.

The font is going with a specimen as well as a textile edition, designed with a digital embroidery machine and relating a narration for the period of crisis that art schools in France are going through today.
