La Treto is a fictional typographic identity project for the traveling theater “Les Tréteaux de France.” It’s a way to combine my typographic, graphic, and motion design skills.

The TRETO, a font that goes at its own pace :

The Treto is inspired and intended for the national theater “les Tréteaux de France” (“the Trestles of France”). Un itinerant theatre with the objective of bringing their art where it is difficult to have access to it.

For this typographic work I wanted to represent this movement, this wander. Putting to action a trestle, which is a very distinctive form.

The TRETO is built as an action, with variable letters (3 variations), one for each part of a step

The TRETO is written in such a way that the spacing can be adjusted to change the pace of each variable letter. Making a difference between  s l o w  and  fast.

If the Treto can walk, it can also run.

To present its use, I also produced a specimen edition, presenting the challenges and the use of La Treto.

Dedicated to a theater, this title typo allows to present the shows in joyful and dynamic posters.
