“Typography is the foundation of writing but above all it allows an idea, a thought to come to life. This is why I like to play with letters whose delicacy and multiple shapes allow movement on a book like musical notes on a score. So, I compose, I make the characters dance to amplify the emotion that the idea, transcribed by the letters, can arouse. »
