Ciné O‘Clock

Ciné O’Clock is an annual festival dedicated to English-speaking cinema, held at the iconic Cinéma Le Zola in Villeurbanne, France. Known for its eclectic and sharply curated selection, the event invites audiences to explore new voices, territories and tones—often with subtitles, always with character.

To reflect the playfulness of the festival’s identity, we designed a custom modular stencil titling font. All-caps, geometric, and subtly kinetic, the typeface makes use of automatic ligatures and alternate glyphs that allow letters to stack, merge and interact. The result is a condensed but flexible display system that captures the festival’s spirit of bold juxtaposition.
