Typography Design: Canopée Typeface by Violaine & Jeremy

Violaine & Jeremy crafted a fresh typography design for Canopée Typeface. The updated collection pairs razor-sharp serifs with rich organic letterforms.

Parisian studio Violaine & Jeremy expanded their display font through VJ-Type. Ten years after its debut, the family gained a fuller voice. This release marks a bold step in modern typography design. The family now features new weights and clean styles. Sharp serifs define the outer shape of each glyph. Soft inner curves push back against that rigid frame. This mix creates clear visual tension across every line. The studio embraced that sharp contrast across all new cuts. Each letter balances clean geometry with loose warmth. Editorial designers can pair light cuts with bold display titles. The result feels both refined and full of life.

Letter Width and Rhythm in Typography Design

Dynamic letter widths give the face a clear structural pulse. Slim glyphs sit right next to broad wide shapes. That tight and open pace drives the eye across the page. Designing the full lowercase set took more than two years. Hélène Zhang and Lucille Alepis helped shape the new family. Round glyphs needed fine balance to avoid looking weak. The letter O stays round without taking over the line. A subtle off-note gives each word a fresh charm. Clean balance anchors this bold typography design.

Print specimens pair font charts with old plant prints. Historic plant art from Karl Blossfeldt mirrors the soft curves. Still-life photos by Vincent Gapaillard add rich texture. The letters hold crisp clarity in small print captions. At huge display scale, the sharp brackets show fine craft. Black and white layouts give the letterforms space to breathe. The crisp serifs hold ink well on uncoated art paper. High contrast headlines command attention across large printed posters. The result serves as a versatile typography design for editorial layouts.
