Launched in March 2018, the E162 website is a platform, a showcase, an archive, a directory, for and by students in the DSAA Typographic Design program at the École Estienne in Paris. The site aims to showcase the typefaces, projects and dissertations of the students. The section’s Instagram was launched at the same time.
The Savon typeface family, created as a self-initiated project by the class of 2018, was collaboratively designed for this specific occasion (Regular by Fanny Hamelin, Bold by Marion Sendral, Italic by Loan Bottex and Léo Guibert). A launch event was held for the site at Batt Coop on 29 March 2018. On this event, there was a specimen print on demand workshop, the website of which is still accessible here!
