CONCEPT:
The modular typeface system performs both orientation in the building and flexible labeling on bookshelves. Its basic elements are cubes on the sides of which lines and letters appear. Composited into glyphs of the French alphabet, the cubes build all letterforms for a typeface. Mounting panels developed specifically to hold the cubes allow one to typeset any information in two font sizes.
