Appraise Office 205 asserts an comprehensive approach by the specificity of knowledge-making that it proposes. Typography and type design in particular (micro-typography), composition and layout (macro-typography) are major assets of the team which make it possible to approach with requirement and acuity of commands of different nature: - Logotypes and trademarks; - Program of corporate identities; - Development of corporate typefaces; – Editorial design (design of books, magazines, newspapers…); - Packaging (design of labels); – Programs of signage systems...
Collaborations Bureau 205 is regularly called for the art director and the piloting of projects by external structures (global design agencies, communication agencies, etc.) It joins also with teams within the framework of answers to contests with designers, signaleticians, architects. Bureau 205 collaborates in a regular way with the agency In medias res for strategic aspects and editorial contents.

Design... Bureau 205 asserts an approach of design mixing conceptual and theoretical aspects, aesthetic and graphic with necessary practical, technics and financial matters.
Bureau 205 likes to propose a resolutely pragmatic approach of the projects which are subjected and develops a contemporary writing which can nevertheless take support on true knowledge-making. |
a total approach Beyond of a particular know-how in the fields of typography and edition and from the specific interest in architecture, the team also develops competences in scenography and of expography, most of the time for projects for which Bureau 205 conceives the identity and communication tools (print and multi-media).
Bureau 205 has also a real experiment in interactive design: – Websites; – Intranet; – User interfaces... For important and specific projects, Bureau 205 proposes the interventions of experimented developers.
