Théo Hennequin

Théo Hennequin is a Brussels-based graphic designer and visual artist with a conceptually driven practice spanning culture, music and sport. He collaborates with institutions, artists, festivals and collectives, from major museums to independent structures, to articulate distinctive positions across print, digital and motion.

His practice is rooted in the circulation of images and forms between swiss rigour, experimental layering and popular cultures, from the football stand to the mountain trail, using the distance between them as a space for inquiry.

About

Brutalism and post-punk

2022

Fonts: Cold (Théo Hennequin), Cirka (Pangram Pangram - Nick Losacco)

Brutalism and Post-Punk is a typeface that explores the link between Brutalist architecture and the post-punk aesthetic. The project takes the form of an original typeface, designed to visually convey the structural and emotional principles of these two worlds.

The typeface, a sort of revival, is sans-serif, rigid and geometric, with a heavy weight that lends it a physical and imposing presence, reminiscent of the massive, monolithic volumes of Brutalist buildings. The slight kerning creates a subtle tension between legibility and density, whilst the height of the glyphs ensures visual coherence and a minimalist graphic rhythm, echoing the repetition and formal rigour of the architecture.
