Wrap Up: Bernard Brechet & Alexandra Korolkova Talks
15 Jul 2016
What a nice, intimate gathering it was for #typetalks16 Week 04. With the Bastille celebrations the next day, a lot of folks were conserving their energies (or heading away for the long weekend), so we were left with a little extra seating space and beer to enjoy. However the night was no less exciting – if anything, the cheers of the few when the livestream went on air were louder than the other nights put together!
The night started with a very interesting individual: Bernard Brechet. Just like Helena last week, he was extremely honest and open about his work, his feelings toward his industry and life in general. He walked us through a number of projects he has worked on at Gédéon, a Paris-based communication agency and production company, founded in 1985. It’s worth giving his TypeParis bio a read to find out more about him.

We then heard from Alexandra Korolkova, also this week’s international guest critic. She had spent the day with the students, and it was a joy to get to know her a little. We thoroughly enjoyed her insights into Cyrillic script in the morning, and there was even more to learn as she took us through a series of fascinating case studies, historical timelines and theories surrounding Cyrillic typefaces, and the subtleties of their relationship with Latin script.
