Antique Série
An experimentally framed serif from X Cicéro, the student type foundry of ESAD Grenoble-Valence, oriented around reduction and simplification.
About
Released under X Cicéro's philosophy of the 'dé-projet', a design methodology that removes rather than adds, Antique Série sits within a conceptual framework of stripping back information and material to its essentials. The foundry's programme at ESAD Grenoble-Valence positions the work as a critique of accumulation in design process. Little technical detail is available from the page, but the editorial framing suggests a typeface suited to considered, stripped-back typographic applications.
Classification
The name 'Antique Série' and the foundry's experimental ethos suggest a serif in the antique or early grotesque-adjacent tradition; the sparse page content prevents further classification precision.
