New release: Carolinéale
designed by Francis Ramel
|
After being born from a research project on Carolingian minuscule, Carolinéale has undergone a seven-year process to evolve into a versatile sanserif of contemporary elegance. However, its voice still conveys a subtle touch of history. Endowed with all the type goodies the discerning designer may need, Carolinéale is both a comfortable text face and a powerful display type that will stimulate readers at large sizes.

Fortunately, like a healing balm, the author will deploy her original hypothesis, suspiciously unexplored, of how the Tuscan style would have been born from a mischievous interpretation of the stone inscriptions, wrongly called ‘lapidary’.
