Les Catacombes de Paris – Visual Identity

Commissioned by Paris Musée, Thomas Oudin from Mo-To studio, designed the graphic identity for the largest ossuary in the world: the Paris Catacombs (approximately 6 million human remains). This essential place in Paris reaches a very international public (more than 500,000 visitors per year, 47% of whom are foreign), requiring a simple, direct and sober graphic language.

This project was the subject of a typographic commission, the “Dédale” designed by Thomas Bouville. This hybrid typographic family between the category of incises and slab serifs is deployed in three distinct weights in order to meet the common uses of composition.

Dédale is available on 205TF.
