Dossier Jannon – Definitive Edition

Dossier Jannon is a concatenation of documents around Jean Jannon’s work. It includes four documents all designed by Aletheia design studio.

In joint partnership with Klim Type Foundry, historian Sébastien Morlighem established a definitive document on Jannon – “Rediscovering Jean Jannon”, including the first-ever complete list of Jean’s prints (both English and French versions included), and a high quality reprint of his original type specimen.
