- Custom Typeface for Printemps Department Stores
- Printania is a 21-font custom type family commissioned for Printemps on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. Designer Jean-Baptiste Levée drew from the mosaic lettering on the Printemps building façade, first installed in 1883, tracing variants used between 1910 and 1924. The family spans a sans and a petit serif, the latter extracted from archival material, with both sharing an atypical italic of very slight slant and narrow proportion. FutureBrand Paris developed a new Printemps identity deploying Printania across signage, advertising, and publications.
