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.

Features

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.

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

Square font is a mono font, each sign is built within the constraint of a square, which enables it to be written from top to bottom and horizontally and vice versa. The initial idea for Square font was to imagine a square (a small park, in French), seen from above: if you look at the lightest version, the shape of the letter defines the park by its external contour. If you consider the boldest version, it defines the surface of the park…. The outline of the letters are lively and slightly flared, the counter-forms now look like kids playing there on a Saturday. The character fills and empties from the inside while keeping the same outline in each version, which allows many games of superposition with this mono font.
