CHIFFRE
CHIFFRE is an uppercase modular display typeface informed by Charles Mavelot’s book of monograms Livre de Chiffres à Double Traits. Rather than reproducing ornament, it parameterises Mavelot’s double-stroke logic—twin paths, controlled interlace, and symmetry—into a contemporary system. The project explores doubling, mirroring, and interweaving strokes, negotiating the balance between legibility and ornament, as well as traditional craftsmanship and modern restraint.
