PUBLIC MARKS with tag typography

Et soudain à l’horizon de nos chimères d’urbains passablement blasés que voyons-nous? Des frusques que nous n’aimerons plus dans quelques saisons? Des visages dont la grâce se sera évanouie en un battement de faux cils ? Alors vers qui se tourner? Vers quoi? Vers l’enfance, cette délicieuse contrée de plaisirs sucrés où tout n’était que jeu. En ce royaume oublié régnait une femme. Mamie. De ses longues mains osseuses et dans la lueur bleutée de ses cheveux, mamie nous choyait comme des bienheureux en nous faisant croire que cette vie durerait toujours. Mamie fut notre muse, notre bienfaitrice à tous. Merci Mamie est un hommage à cet âge d’or perdu, à ces femmes qui nous faisaient entrer quelques semaines de vacances par an dans l’illusion de l’innocence. Merci mamie est un manifeste contre la jeunesse en perte de valeurs et d’idéaux. Mamie est là quelque part, elle vous ouvre son cœur.

For the men's luxury-goods webshop, Mr Porter, we developed a custom typeface which reflects Mr Porter's handwriting. We tried to make him as human as possible, not only being different all the time, but also including obvious shortcomings. Funny enough it takes a highly intelligent font to have fully controlled imperfections. The result is a single typeface with a strong relation between the glyph set (which characters should be in the font) and the way these glyphs work together. Mr Porter travelled a lot, oh boy. He travelled all over the world, and meanwhile speaks over 200 languages. But maybe Mr Porter would have been even more human if we would have implemented deliberate spelling mistakes in tough languages like Finnish or Hungarian. From that perspective Mr Porter is a super human, with a gift for linguistics.
