Design practice of Tancrède Ottiger : graphic and type designer, teacher. Listed typefaces are available on ToSupply.
Founded in 2015, the studio is characterized by a collaborative practice with many players in the field of design such as developers, photographers, industrial designers, architects & filmmakers. The studio is covering works in all mediums, from print to digital design : books, publications, identities, web design and scenography.
Type design has been a key element of the design process from the very begining. The studio offers both retail and bespoke typefaces for clients. Recognized magazines such as Frame or Marie Claire used TO fonts in their design.
Furthermore, the practice conducts a constant reasearch into production means and new technologies, producing up to date custom tailored solution for each project. The interactive map created for the Ateliers de Renens or the generating identity tool for the Teintureries drama school stands as good examples of this approach.

Vincent Ottiger’s practice ranges from drawing and collage to engraving, painting and installation.
This catalog was produced in order to document the exhibition curated on the occasion of the Altitudes Biennale. It stands as a printed transcription of the artit’s work: the pieces are replicated with their respective ratios. Printed in 5 colors, the images are majored with silver, which makes it possible to evoke the underlying layers revealed by X-rays scans.
