Big Daily Short In Use
- Founded in 2017 by Rebecca Miquel and Nicolas Huet Greub, 1718 is a Paris-based agency specializing in the production of creative content and art buying. Their service to mostly well-known brands consists in assembling ever changing teams in order to realize film and photo shoots as much as print projects and digital events. The topic in this post is the stationery of 1718, but you should also check out the post featuring the design of their website. The graphic designers responsible for both are Léna Araguas and Alaric Garnier. Garnier is also the designer of the typeface used, Big Daily. Big Daily comes in six weights and draws its inspiration from small-size newspaper print and was published by Production Type in 2020. It is characterized by a large x-height, wide counters and a marked yet sturdy stroke contrast. The design is subtle in detail but lends itself just as well to big-size headline applications as can be seen here. Not on display here is its italic that sports a wonderful rhythm and dynamic movement. The 1718 inline logotype is a bespoke derivation of Big Daily Black. It’s interesting here to see how the designers managed to bridge the use of the logotype on the website and on the business cards. While it sits centered and black at maximum size on the landing page, it behaves similarly on the stationery, but the black is exchanged for blind embossing. This keeps the design principles intact and transposes the logotype into a visually and haptically appealing form. The production was carried out by Imprimerie du Marais, a high-brow printing house based in Paris, with a branch in London.

1718 Paris stationery - Anticorps (“Antibodies”) is an exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, platforming “the voices of 20 artists from the French and international artistic scene. With recent and new works, they take the pulse of our ability to bond together and help us rethink how we inhabit the world.” Conceived with the experience of lockdown and the adoption of physical distancing, the exhibition is extended and enhanced by an extensive bilingual website, making some of the content available online.The website was designed by Léna Araguas and Alaric Garnier, featuring an original yet perspicuous user interface built by Sylvain Jule. It makes early use of Enduro, Emmanuel Besse’s vision of an industrial grotesk. The straightforward sans appears in Semibold and Semibold Italic styles, from the exhibition logo and the intro to menus, bios, and more. For the texts, Enduro is paired with Garnier’s own Big Daily Long.Enduro and Big Daily are both available from Production Type.

Alaric Garnier’s design translates between classic terms of journalism and the near-future: a mostly-digital world. The lexicon of news, writing, editorial, and facts comes to a head with the digital globalization dystopia — AI, Transhumanism, automation. Big Daily provides the tactile nature we’re used to in print that is a rare achievement on screen.
