Design Credits

First seen on MyFonts: January 1st, 2000
Designed by: Adolphe Mouron Cassandre, Jean François Porchez
Designed when: 1997
Design owned by: Font Bureau
Originally created by: Porchez Typofonderie
MyFonts Keywords: Art Deco, display, poster, sans-serif


Anisette

Systematic variation of Art Deco capitals in Cassandre’s posters led to Anisette. Rich contrasts in width and weight of hand-lettered geometry suggested a hidden typographic opportunity.

In 1930, Deberny & Peignot released Banjo Initials, adapting a hairline weight for two widths of type.

Jean-Francois Porchez completed the typographic system with a five-weight series of striking geometric beauty and great complexity.
