About

Born from a 2011 field trip through Marseille by Fanny Garcia and Jack Usine, the family translates five distinct styles of observed street lettering into usable typefaces, all set in capitals. A dingbats companion extends the set, reflecting the unpredictable variety of the city's visual landscape. One of the six styles is available free of charge.

Classification
