In the library with Céline Jouandet
Amsterdam-based graphic and type designer Céline Jouandet led an excursion in our library, through her favorite typographic treasures and the books that shape her practice. Dive in as she walks us through local Dutch printing history, her spider-inspired lettering, essential reading for aspiring designers and some of the quirkiest alphabets.
