Cecilia OTF

Cecilia Azcarate asked us to design a custom typeface for her design identity, with artistic direction led by Aurore Chauve.

Leading with the idea of creating a font inspired by the pre-romantic Greco-Roman era and fresco’s and engravings from that time period, the goal was to build an imperfect or even “bizarre” font.

What we were looking for were those imperfections that appear because of the engraving process and the test of time and translate it into a digital drawing.
