Our goal is to connect both typographic cultures and share our knowledge of calligraphy, sketching, exploration and type design.

Typefaces and the technologies used to bring them to life on screen are already incredibly advanced and have been mastered by many designers, but we've made the decision to inject strong personalities, into our type projects. However, we are trying to step away, as far as possible, from projects in which the designer's personality enters into the work.

We hope that our website gives you a glimpse of a future where type design fully embraces digital. Of course, this is just the beginning, and we are just two explorers finding our way in a new world of type, deeply passionate about creating a new type family. We believe that our website demonstrates the passion we have for our work, through typefaces, work in progress, and experimentation.

The Eiger village of Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland lies embedded in a welcoming and green hollow, surrounded by a commanding mountainscape with the Eiger north face and the Wetterhorn. This mountainscape and the numerous lookout points and activities make Grindelwald one of the most popular and cosmopolitan holiday and excursion destinations in Switzerland, and the largest ski resort in the Jungfrau region.

The symbol of the «world’s smallest metropolis» is the “Jet d’eau” – a fountain with a 140-metre-high water jet at the periphery of Lake Geneva. Most of the large hotels and many restaurants are situated on the right-hand shore of the lake. The old town, the heart of Geneva with the shopping and business quarter, holds sway over the left-hand shore.

The Matterhorn and Switzerland are inseparably linked to each other. The pyramid shaped colossus of a mountain, which is very difficult to climb, is said to be the most-photographed mountain in the world. The Klein-Matterhorn ("Little Matterhorn"), which can be reached via a funicular, lies adjacent to the Matterhorn.

Medley

Shape shifting serif with historical roots

The Medley adventure started during an exploration of the Toulouse Scriptorium online archives. One piece struck us for its elegant, almost decorative, strokes. However, the typeface then became a true ‘medley’, drawing influence from Uncial, Carolingian minuscule, and a more traditional approach of brush lettering. While some letters may have taken an eccentric direction, we decided to ground the overall style in something more familiar. The contradictory style of this type family comes from a desire to resurrect historical shapes, while avoiding any that are too ‘rigid’ and inflexible. Medley has evolved in two directions, paying heed to the relative demands of different optical sizes. On one side of the family we have a highly contrasted set of fonts which embrace the most radical shapes in a sharp and staccato rhythm. On the other side, we designed a strongly legible set, providing a more versatile and accessible version of Medley’s visual identity without losing its essence. For example, the ‘e’ (One of Medley’s signature shapes) maintains its structure, but blends into the overall group, increasing readability.

Kimchi`'`s virtue lies in its remarkable fusion of nourishment, tradition, and transformation: humble vegetables

Beyond its bold flavor, kimchi embodies resilience and communal care, reflecting generations of Korean ingenuity in preserving harvests and sharing resources. Its probiotics support digestion, its antioxidants strengthen the body, and its ritual of preparation brings families and communities together. Kimchi is more than a side dish—it is a symbol of patience, balance, and the quiet wisdom of letting simple ingredients become something greater than themselves.

Vegetables:

Napa cabbage (baechu)
Korean radish (mu), julienned or matchsticks
Green onions (scallions)

Aromatics:

Garlic
Ginger
Onion (often blended into the paste)

Others:

Fine gochugaru (optional, for thicker paste)
Salted shrimp (saeujeot)
Sugar (white, brown, or Korean plum syrup)

Different kimchi: Baechu-kimchi, mul-kimchi, bossam-kimchi, dongchimi, and more.

Kimchi, the full story

One

Three Kingdoms

Korean cooks begin fermenting soybean paste in large earthenware jars. This marks the rise of doenjang, a deeply savory base still essential in traditional meals today.

Two

Goryeo Dynasty

Families start grilling marinated beef over open flames, giving birth to early forms of bulgogi. This method creates the sweet-savory flavor profile beloved across Korea today.

Three

Imjin War Ero

Villages preserve napa cabbage and radish in simple brines, forming the roots of kimchi. This early technique ensures fresh flavors through long, harsh winters.

Four

Joseon Dynasty

Chefs simmer beef bones for hours until the broth turns milky-white. This labor-intensive process defines seolleongtang, valued for both nourishment and comfort.

Five

Kimchi Culture

Fishermen salt and ferment seafood to enhance preservation, creating the foundations of jeotgal. These rich condiments later become essential seasoning in countless dishes.

Six

2013 UNESCO

Rice cakes are pounded during celebrations, shaping the origins of tteok. These chewy treats evolve into diverse varieties tied to seasonal and family traditions.
