The thematic area dedicated to typography develops a contextual history of exchanges between Switzerland and France through four case studies covering the history of typeface design and their migration or rejection within French-speaking scenes during the two periods. In particular, design-based studies are carried out to understand the genealogy of the typefaces that are the subject of the research.
