Typophiles Superscript² show us how it's done the other side of the Channel

I like to see words put together nicely – it’s the liquidity of some words on a page or the dynamism of others that just gets me really excited. So it’s always welcome when a studio such as Lyon based Superscript² are so evidently into typography and careful layout it makes me say “oooh.” Everything about their work is thoughtful, clean and fits together extremely well. Their sharp design is often monochromatic too, giving not only the people they design for, but the studio, a strong visual identity. It’s the stacks of fonts they’ve designed collated on their website I enjoy looking through most though, as it’s clear this is where their true passion lies.
