Specimen
The Montariol is a typeface of titling, sans-serif, geometric and quite black, whose style of letters comes from the artistic movement of Art Deco.
Its design, inspired by a sculpted sign in Toulouse (France), is particularly marked by its triangular ‘A’, its staircase ‘E’ and finally its dynamic wave-shaped ‘S’. Its black weight it a certain strength, and gives weight to the titles. The composition of the words is punctuated by the contrasting proportions and the singularity of some of its letters.

Specimen
The Alfabet is a titling, sans-serif typeface, inspired both by the work of engineers Timothy Epps and Christopher Evans (1969), and letterings designed by painter and architect Theo Van Doesburg in the 1920s.
Based on a 25-square grid, its design once again attempts to rationalize to the extreme the canonical structure of the Latin alphabet.
Alphabet intended to be read by a machine, Timothy Epps and Christopher Evans, National Physical Laboratory, Division of Computer Science, Great Britain, 1969.

Specimen
The Bevel is a titling, stencil and sans-serif typeface. His design is inspired by a series of old zinc stencils bearing the names of different villages in the Tarn region (France).
Its mechanical structure and its total absence of curves, make its design particularly raw and robust. It is characterized by its surprising tenons, in particular in its ‘M’ and its ‘N’. Its solidity is accentuated by the proportions of its narrow letters, and its low spacing.
