Design & features
Typefesse was designed by French graphic designer Océane Juvin, a type design graduate of École Estienne in Paris, and was named one of Typographica's favourite typefaces of 2019. Inspired by the interplay of bodies and letters, it is a cheeky, playful "bum" display face.
It includes Claire-Obscure and Pleine styles: the former is twisted and illustrative, while Pleine stays legible even at small sizes and can be layered over it.
Best uses
We recommend Typefesse for dessert and drink posters, English accents on packaging and English poster headlines. For English headlines, try all caps with a little extra tracking.
