Typologie is a brand-new serial periodical about commonplace items that concentrates on one type per issue. This inaugural issue’s focus is the pétanque boule, a popular game that is examined by looking at its relationship to the long-standing and global boules history as well as the variety of methods used to make the boule itself. The ostensibly uniform spheres have a complex and multifaceted personality that frequently personifies the casual, leisurely aspect of life that the game depicts. More than 70 black-and-white drawings, including 50 photos taken especially for this publication, explain the beauty of the pétanque boule.
