The family distills basic shapes — like circles, squares, and triangles — into an easy-to-read language. By using the skeleton and proportions of 16th century old-style serifs, the silhouette provides a legible baseline for the family.
The infusion of Bauhaus-esque geometry appears through the overweight curves, bulbous ball terminals, and rounded letterforms that verge on cartoon-like. The result is a typeface that balances a professional tone while remaining unapologetically graphic. Through Francine’s ability to interplay readability with its form-forward ethos, the family pairs well with commercial, pop-culture, and editorial applications.
Francine is comprised of four weights. The Regular, Medium, and Bold weights allow for hierarchal relationships in longform paragraphs. The Black weight provides opportunity for a more display-suited headline style.
