Ysans is a new Typofonderie typeface. The Ysans designed by Jean François Porchez is a sanserif influenced by Cassandre lettering pieces and the geometric sanserif style from the inter-war period. Since Chanel logo, the geometric sanserif style is the favorite typographic thing in fashion. Ysans asserts this reference. Not only Haute-Couture houses use these categories of typefaces for their visual identity, but fashion magazines usually strength their layout with these geometric sanserif when a Didot isn’t used.

Mencken is a new Typofonderie typeface. The new typeface has sixty-three styles, divided into three widths, three optical sizes, romans, italics, borders and dingbats. Mencken is unique because it is designed according to different axis and optical sizes. Firstly, the Mencken Text is a low-contrast transitional type designed on an oblique axis, asserting horizontal, featuring open counters. On the other side of the spectrum, the Mencken Head (and narrow variations) is designed on a vertical axis, high contrast, in a contemporary Didot style.

Welcome to Prosaic, a new typeface designed by Aurélien Vret. Prosaic is radical, because it comes from a long artistic reflection of its designer, also a multidisciplinary artist. The Prosaic is also a dual tone typeface because it knows how to serve the readability in very small sizes and brings a sturdy typographic power to large sizes.

We are pleased to announce the publication of Parisine Narrow and Parisine Compressed! Parisine was born as the parisian métro signage typeface. This family of typefaces has become over years one of the symbols of Paris as the Johnston for the London Underground or the Helvetica for the New York Subway. The Parisine was created to accompany travelers in their daily uses: ultra-readable, friendly, human while the context is a priori hostile.
