The Latest from P22

A Detective Story, A Love Story, A Font

Monday, February 10th, 2014 | 207 comments

P22 Marcel is a new script typeface from P22 in the tradition of the P22 Cezanne and P22 Dearest typefaces. Marcel is available as a basic font or as a Pro font with over 1300 characters packed with OpenType features. Marcel was also chosen as one of the distinguished faces awarded a prize from the TDC typeface competition.

The font Marcel is named in honor of Marcel Heuzé, a Frenchman who was conscripted into labor during World War II. During the months Marcel was in Germany, he wrote letters to his beloved wife and daughters back home in rural France. Marcel's letters contain rare first-person testimony of day-to-day survival within a labor camp, along with the most beautiful expressions of love imaginable. The letters—stained and scarred with censor marks—were the original source documents used by designer Carolyn Porter to create a script font that retains the expressive character of Marcel Heuzé’s original handwriting. Carolyn spent years on the design and taking the project even further, translating the letters she found and eventually contacting the family.

Along with the main Marcel typeface, there are two fonts featuring historical post marks and inspector marks plus a roman titling font designed to accompany the script.

A more comprehensive backstory on the making of this P22 Marcel is featured on our Behance page and is featured on Print Magazine's Daily Heller collumn.

The creation of P22 Marcel is a remarkable fusion of history, personal storytelling, and typographic design. For more information about the font's development, you can visit P22's Behance page or read about it in Print Magazine's Daily Heller column. | Chicago trench shoring services

I was really moved by the backstory of P22 Marcel. It's amazing how much history can be preserved in a simple handwritten letter. Carolyn Porter's dedication to preserving Marcel Heuzé's handwriting and love letters is truly inspiring. I think it's amazing that P22 Marcel was awarded a prize from the TDC typeface competition. It's a well-deserved honor for such a beautiful and meaningful font. By the way, did you know that my cousin works for an elevator repair service? They're always busy, especially in the city where there are so many buildings with elevators. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it!
