a font and the search for one man's fate
Seeking inspiration for a new font design in an antique store in small-town Stillwater, Minnesota, the author, a graphic designer, was drawn to beautiful handwriting in some old letters. They were in French and had been signed by a man named Marcel and posted from Berlin to France during World War II. Her curiosity aroused, she began to trace Marcel's life and to try and find out the answer to his fate. In the meantime she immortalized Marcel's handwriting as the acclaimed P22 Marcel Script font.
