MegaMegaTypeType
An all-capitals display typeface by Damien Gautier that channels the French decorative tradition of Cassandre through geometric construction, high stroke contrast and a sophisticated three-tiered small caps system.
About
Le François contains only capital letters arranged in three series: uppercase, high small caps and low small caps, with proportions and contrast referencing historical French engraving and the lettering of Cassandre. Extensive discretionary ligatures and precise spacing create a dynamic optical rhythm between thick and thin strokes, comparable in effect to ITC Avant Garde Gothic. The result is a typeface equally suited to heritage branding, fashion, and gastronomy.
Classification
An all-capitals display typeface with strong geometric construction and high stroke contrast, drawing on the French decorative tradition of Cassandre and Peignot. Its three-tiered capitals system (uppercase, high small caps, low small caps) and extensive ligature set mark it firmly as a display face.
