Manosque

Manosque

‹Manosque› is a typeface inspired by lettering found in the train station of ‹Manosque› (a city in the south of France). It’s also based on other letterforms used in public signs and transportation during the late 19th century and the early 20th century in France. During the process of studying those designs, the designer found that drawing them with a flat brush was a good way to harmonise the shapes coming from its different sources, so that’s how ‹Manosque› in its present form was born.

Manosque is designed by Ariel Martín Pérez of Tunera.
