Gemeli In Use
This little book, following John Smith’s solo exhibition at the Royal College of Art in 2010, was designed by French duo SA*M*AEL (Samuel Bonnet & Maël Fournier-Comte) using the same pair of typefaces that they used for exhibition identity and signage: Francesco, Frank Jalleau’s masterpiece inspired by Griffo’s cuts from Renaissance (and at the time freshly released by BAT) and Gemeli Mono, Jean-Baptiste Levée’s monospace counterpart to his Gemeli type system, several years before its release.Beside the simple aesthetic of the publication, the typesetting of the book is very subtle and reminiscent of some early trends of the early 2010s: monospace type for body text, underlines, loose letterspacing … all of this probably echoing the Web 1.0 look that was already considered as old-fashionned.Gemeli Mono Bold + Francesco Italic

1.001About this font
Gemeli is built upon the same simple, human framework as its counterpart Cogito, but its vertical stroke endings lend it a crisper, machined appearance and strikingly different personality. This is an attribute it shares with modern Humanist sans serifs like Frutiger, but this creation is just a tad looser, reflecting some of the informal air of another vertically-sheered sans: Antique Olive. These multi-faceted design qualities are made even more useful by Gemeli’s extended family tree — five weights and italics, a monospaced companion (Gemeli Mono), and the ink-trapped Gemeli Micro, a small-print agate that doubles as a display face.
