Meursault

display · variable · 2020

Meursault is a graceful headline typeface based on a popular 20th-century style, but with a few quirky twists. It's a typeface that echoes a design used widely in the early 20th century, born from the burgeoning Arts and Crafts movement. Meursault was originally designed for The Gourmand, and is intended as a display typeface for use in headlines and subheadings in magazines and newspapers. Universal Thirst designed two weights of the typeface - Thin Ultra Condensed and Black Extended - which would expand the typographic palette. Notable details of Meursault include its lowercase g, characterised by a diagonal line that moves from the counter through to the ear, as well as the uppercase G. It adopts more angular details than its predecessors, offering a more constructed take on the type style.
