Parisienne

by Jeffrey Visser

Parisienne is a bold bitmap display face by Jeffrey Visser that renders blocky slab-serif letterforms through a halftone dot pattern, giving it a gritty, printed-on-newsprint texture. The uppercase-only character set and chunky pixel construction keep it firmly in retro territory, somewhere between early digital type and a screenprinted poster. Best used at large sizes for headlines and display work where that textured, lo-fi quality can do its thing.
