‘Octobre’, named after the ‘Octobre en Normandie Festival’, is based on an agglomeration of pixel-like squares and a low-resolution bitmap aesthetic suggesting the early days of computers. The letters are designed as solid bricks, and with a pattern of missing parts that suggests stencil letters. Apeloig created the font during a 1993/94 residency at the Villa Medici, the French Academy of Art in Rome. The experimental typeface evokes the festival’s program of dance and music (both classical and contemporary), performed by world-renowned conductors and musicians.
