Rudolf Koch and Fritz Kredel's remarkable Blumenbuch [Book of Flowers] was published between 1929 and 1942, from precious volumes and portfolios to pocket editions, involving numerous collaborators, printers and publishers such as Mainzer Presse in Mainz, Ernst-Ludwig-Presse in Darmstadt and Insel-Verlag, Leipzig. The Insel paperback edition continued to be printed throughout the 20th century. Koch began drawing wild flowers in 1922. He explains that he 'collected [the flowers] at random and without any particular purpose. I only drew those that grew in Offenbach and the surrounding area...'. A member of Koch's Werkstatt, the young Kredel, engraved most of the 250 drawings. The flowers were engraved on wood and coloured entirely by hand. The entire project - the various editions, sketchbooks, printing tests and original woodcuts - constitutes an exceptional archive that was exhibited for the first time in France, at the Modulab gallery in Metz The exhibition curated by Jérôme Knebusch is a joint venture between the Klingspor Museum, Poem, Modulab and the École nationale d'art et de design de Nancy.

The Musée d'Orsay is dedicated to artistic expression from the period 1848–1914. With an annual attendance of 3.5 million visitors, it stands as one of the world’s most prestigious cultural institutions. Its complete visual identity overhaul, undertaken by the Paris-based graphic design studio Zoo, offers a contemporary interpretation of the museum’s artistic legacy by establishing a clear, readable, and engaging visual language. As part of this redesign, an exclusive typeface was created in two styles. This typeface is a modern reinterpretation of the typographic developments of La Belle Époque, channeling the vitality of the era to which the Musée d'Orsay is devoted. The roman style presents a distilled interpretation of the 19th-century French Elzévir genre, while the italic revives the Coulée Italique Elzévirienne, originally cast by the Parisian foundry Beaudoire & Fils. The italic also features a set of swash capitals. Both styles were drawn by Rafael Ribas, with advisory, mastering, and production by Jérôme Knebusch. Some images are excerpted from the 2023/2024 program, where the typeface is paired with Antique Legacy.

Visual identity and design of the Brave New World Order – Triennale Jeune Création website. The young art triennale is a major event for emerging artists from Luxembourg and the Greater Region. The website showcases 40 artists and a forum, initiated during the Covid pandemic which delayed the exhibition for one year. Each artist could login and update his profile. The starting page is randomly customized, displaying each time in another order the black and white identity drawings. The identity integrated the custom design of a typefaces in two styles.

Louis Hoell cut the punches for the only published typeface Otto Eckmann ever designed. The story of the Eckmannschrift’s creation has often been told. In retrospect, it was the release that made Karl Klingspor’s reputation as a typefoundry director of note. Yet instead of looking at the Eckmannschrift from Klingspor or Eckmann’s point of view, Dan Reynolds's essay directs its focus to what Hoell’s design contributions to the project might have been. With rare and unpublished material from the Klingspor archives in Offenbach am Main. Edited by Alice Savoie and Jérôme Knebusch in the Poem Pamphlet series.

Triennals, prefiguration event of the Luxembourg young contemporary art triennale, with former triennale participants. Custom single-typeface and 'ongoing' visual identity which will evolve in the Brave New World Order identity of the triennale held one year later. See this website for more.

Custom all-caps typeface in medium weight, used throughout the museum's documents and announcements. The nearby, recently restored Villa Majorelle uses the typeface as well for its signage. The typeface gathers different Art Nouveau forms found in architecture, furniture or art and transposes them into one harmonizing design. It is further is characterized by wide capitals in many variants. The six styles (Crocus, Dahlia, Gingko, Nenuphar, Rose, Thistle) are arranged from the most quiet to the most expressive letter­forms. Designed with Philippe Tytgat. Graphic design by Lab.Leblond.Tytgtat, Nancy. The typeface was later extended to minuscules in diverse weights, and published by Poem as a full retail type family in 2022.

ARTEM, which stands for Art, Technology and Management, is an original initiative set up by the École nationale supérieure d'art et de design de Nancy, ICN Business School and Mines Nancy. It combines the creation and the integration of new technologies with a managerial, strategic, economic and legal perspective. By crossing cultures – of the scientist or engineer from Mines Nancy, that of the manager from ICN Business School, and that of the artist or designer from the École nationale supérieure d'art et de design de Nancy – the Artem Alliance invites students to think outside the box by plunging them into the heart of issues and logics that are a priori far removed from their field of excellence. The exclusive custom typeface was commissioned successively between 2007 and 2017. The main idea and concept of Artem's graphic identity lies in the shared use of an exclusive typeface. Rather than stamping documents, it is a shared voice that speaks through the typeface. With a linear, pragmatic design based on Johnston (Edward Johnston, 1916), it has the distinctive feature of mixing capitals and lower case letters. Known as unicase (a single typographic case), the capitals of the acronym ARTEM blend in as small capitals among the lower case letters. There is no real set of capitals. The typeface is available in five weights: Thin, Light, Regular, Bold and Black. It is designed for headlines and short texts, where the design is as visible as it is readable. It is used throughout the Artem campus, for signage and on-screen and printed documents. See also the extension Artem Bureau on this website.

The old guys stole our best ideas. Three typographic perspectives on historical forms, conference held at Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire Strasbourg, 2024. With Francis Ramel and Laurent Bourcellier. Each of us presented two type revival projects. Francis presented Carolinéale and Baroque Brutal, Laurent Joos and Johannes, myself Nouveau Quellstift and Koch Grotesk. The conference was recorded, video link below.
