Le Cygne
Moglia · Anton Moglia
A very heavy, compact titling face in two styles, combining grotesque structure with humanist forms and a sharp, organic drawing quality.
About
Le Cygne comes in two styles, Clair and Noir, both sharing an extremely black, compact construction designed to produce dense, even blocks of text at display sizes. The design draws on humanist letter forms while maintaining the blunt structure of an Antique, giving it an organic yet incisive character. Western European Latin coverage makes it suited to French and other major European languages.
Classification
A very heavy, compact titling face described as an Antique (grotesque) with humanist influences and organic, sharp drawing. Its extreme weight and display intent place it firmly in the display category.
