About
Rooted in the hand-lettered signage of French public transport and urban infrastructure from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this typeface uses flat-brush drawing as a method to unify shapes pulled from varied historical sources. The result is a display face with the informal warmth of vernacular lettering, kept coherent by the discipline of a single tool.
