Correspondance specimen from Radim Pesko

A single-weight, uppercase-only geometric display sans-serif reconstructed from Peško's memory of Frutiger's Paris Metro signage lettering.

About

Correspondance is Radim Peško's recollection of the lettering Frutiger designed for the Paris Metro, rebuilt without reference. That distinction matters: the result carries the flatness of institutional signage filtered through subjective recall, giving it a quality no straight revival could produce. One weight, one case – its constraints are its character.

Classification

Single-weight, uppercase-only geometric display sans-serif. Drawn from memory of Adrian Frutiger's lettering for the Paris Metro signage system rather than traced from source material, giving it a subtly hand-interpreted character despite its geometric structure. Alternate versions exist for select characters. Strictly a display face: no lowercase, no text weights.
