KÉVIN
BOTHUA
A Paris-based graphic designer and calligraphy lover who believes words can be beautiful before they are even read.
LETTERS AFTER HOURS
Outside the agency, Kévin is a devoted calligraphy lover, drawn to the movement, weight and personality of individual letters.
A word is never only information. It is also shape, rhythm, spacing and gesture.
WORDS CAN BE BEAUTIFUL
Kévin’s work begins with a simple idea: words can be visually beautiful before their meaning fully arrives.
The curve of a letter, the pressure of a line and the distance between forms can communicate something before the viewer reads a single sentence.
READ THE SHAPE FIRST.
TYPOGRAPHY AS OBSESSION
Typography is not simply part of Kévin’s work. It is an ongoing obsession.
He studies how letters sit together, how they change a message and how the smallest adjustment can alter the entire feeling of a composition.
