Meursault specimen from Universal Thirst

Originally commissioned for cult food magazine The Gourmand, this Arts and Crafts-inflected headline typeface spans five widths and eight weights with distinctly angular, constructed details.

About

Drawing on a popular early 20th-century style born from the Arts and Crafts movement, Meursault introduces sharper, more constructed details than its historical models. Notable quirks include a lowercase g with a diagonal line running from the counter through to the ear, and an angular uppercase G. The family covers Ultra Condensed through Ultra Extended across eight weights, with a variable font option, making it a versatile display tool for editorial contexts.

Classification
