Paris \u201937 started from hand-drawn lettering on the cover of a 1937 book. Only a few capitals of the original were available \u2013 no complete alphabet, lowercase or other characters \u2013 which led to a process of reconstruction and interpretation of the existing forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lettering was identified as a Garalde-influenced serif with Humanist traits and a visual language close to Art Deco. From the original forms and the analysis of references such as Requiem and ITC Veljovi\u0107, a complete type system was developed, with upper and lowercase, figures, punctuation and accents, plus Display, Text and Italic styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project sought to preserve the expressive, distinctive character of the original lettering while expanding it for more versatile contemporary use, adapting it to both digital media and editorial contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
