Arthursimonini. Printed film programme in black ink.

Arthur Simonini is a high-contrast editorial showcase built on absolute monochrome: pure black canvas, pure white type, and nothing in between. The visual identity is carried entirely by two custom serif faces — a quiet text-grade serif for navigation and metadata, and an ornamental didone with discretionary ligatures reserved for oversized display moments. Layout is ruled by hairline white borders that act as section dividers and grid rails, not by cards, shadows, or color. Content is presented like a printed film programme or a French luxury maison lookbook: typographic marquees scroll repeated section titles, film posters fill grids in grayscale, and generous negative space lets the ligature-rich display type breathe. No color, no gradients, no fills, no elevation — the entire system is an exercise in typographic and structural discipline.
