Algerian graphic designer Taouffik Semmad lived and worked in Algiers and Brussels, as well as the former USSR, before moving to Canada, where he is now based in Montreal. His research into the history of writing and illustration contributed to the sophistication of ITC Shadowettes, a DesignFont made up entirely of figures in silhouette, a very old form of illustration. His edgy, protean figures show everyday life in a variety of cultures, the result of Semmad’s extensive travel on several continents. They form “tragicomic scenes” presented with sensitivity. With a Chinese brush and encre de Chine, he drew each image quickly - a “furtive gesture,” working solely from the image in his own head. The result is a cartoony, exaggerated style, almost liquid in its flow, suggestive rather than defined in its outline.
