Pierrot le Fou (1965) by Jean-Luc Godard, Clip: Opening credits

Published 10 Sep 2021

The image: Godard is famous for his distinctive typography as you know - as so often, red, white & blue (Frencg flag). Very beautiful to look at. The typography is never compuer generated but hand-made... See comment below from the 'typeroom' website: “It’s quite interesting to see the designs evolve. In this digital age it’s refreshing to see type that isn’t made on a computer: the imperfect and handmade look of the letterforms, the bad kerning, the large gaps between letters and words, the justified blocks of text, the awkwardly dotted capital I’s. Even when he used an existing typeface – like Antique Olive in ‘Week end’ (1967) – the letterforms look as if they were cut out with an Exacto knife. tristan@aestheticoftheimage.com _________ All clips uploaded solely for celebration and education....
