They settled on ten designs they would develop as fonts, which were exhibited in Apeloig’s Typorama exhibit (held during 2013–2014 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris). They had to imagine what ‘being Apeloig’ might mean and understand how he ‘conceives the process of type design as a research and play between legibility and forms’ 1 as well as anticipating the shapes of the missing letters to complete each character set. The work was an enriching learning process: Nouvelle Noire was faced with developing a whole character set based on a few letters. In 2011, Apeloig was preparing for a retrospective exhibition of his work, and so Vallois made a proposal: they would create fully functional digital fonts based on Apeloig’s typographic lettering for his numerous poster designs. Clovis Vallois knew Apeloig well he had done a six-month internship in his studio in Paris during his undergraduate visual communication studies in Freiburg, Germany. Their first collaboration was with Philippe Apeloig in 2012. Nouvelle Noire | NN-Noire from Dafi Kühne.
