An iconic time deserves an iconic font. Piscine is a reverse-weight display font that finds its inspiration in two Jacques - Jacques Demy, and Simon Porte Jacquemus.
Project Overview ︎︎︎
Developed with bold colours and a large point size in mind, its high-contrast form balances straight lines with rounded curves and weight with strategic airiness in unexpected ways. It is best used for display and advertising purposes.
︎ Piscine is currently in development, with further glyphs and weights to come!

Chanson des Jumelles on endless loop
Piscine provided a first foray into custom type using Glyphs. Letterforms were developed over a month-long period, after which sizing, weight, and interaction between individual characters was further refined. Some surprising variations to stroke thickness were discovered in order to better legibility and balance.
