jekyll & hyde & mr. mouse

jekyll & hyde & mr. mouse

to celebrate the studio’s twenty-nine years of activity, a special limited-edition publication was produced: an edition of dr. jekyll & mr. hyde by stevenson.

for the occasion, a dedicated typeface, jeh grotesque, was designed — a font with a dual nature. some glyphs feature unexpected variants, slightly distorted and intentionally unpleasant, evoking the tension between the two identities of the protagonist.

the novel is accompanied by illustrations inspired by early mickey mouse short films. their presence throughout the pages is entirely random: no narrative coherence, no logical connection. just as hyde lives within jekyll, in this edition an external and “alien” character — mickey mouse — slips between the lines, creating a visual and conceptual short circuit.
