THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN

Features

and the good Frey dropped peace and plenty everywhere, and men went in and out and feared no wrong. King Volsung had a dwelling in the midst of fertile fields and fruitful gardens.

Features

Features

In the middle of the hall stood the pride of the Volsungs,—a tree whose blossoms filled the air with fragrance, and whose green branches, thrusting themselves through the ceiling, covered the roof with fair foliage. It was Odin’s tree, and King Volsung had planted it there with his own hands.

Information

Joly takes its inspiration is the 18th century Dutch type. It began as a research revival project, as one does when exploring type design history, and rapidly turned into a full contemporary type design project. Joly is a Dutch inspired font family designed especially for complex text layouts: multiple optical sizes (Text, Headline, Display) makes it a complete type tool. Elegant and eloquent, Joly is a trustworthy tool to get to the heart of your readers.
