Graphic design

"Caillou" means "small pebble" in French. This typeface is inspired by the act of stacking small stones in the mountains to make a wish. Each letter of Caillou.x is built from the bottom up, mirroring the process of stone stacking, with all 26 letters reflecting unique stone shapes.

Using the type design software Glyphs as a new graphic tool, this typeface experiments by pushing the boundaries of traditional type design.
