Long years ago, before the evil days had dawned,
King Volsung ruled over all the land which lies between the sea and the country of the Goths
THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN
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.
Fairer than any dream was that dwelling. The roof was thatched with gold, and red turrets and towers rose above. The great feast-hall was long and high, and its walls were hung with sun-bright shields; and the door-nails were of silver.
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
Massilia is a tribute to Marseille, echoing the softness and the balance of the sunny south of France. This font family is inspired by both Roger Excoffon’s famous work and the the city itself. Balancing between brush-like features and geometric endings. Massilia bring a perfect balance to the rhythmic of a text layout. While allowing one to be able to harvest the full strength of its glyphs’ anatomy when being displayed in larger sizes with the bolder versions of the typeface, it is surprisingly soft and delicate when used in lighter weights, smaller sizes, and long text layouts.
