Mazagan is inspired by Marocaines, an unusual early 20th-century serif display typeface from the French Foundry Mayeur. In the Foundry’s type specimen, Marocaines was advertised as a darker companion for Roman types which lacked a bold weight, particularly for the new Elzevirs.

We have developed this typeface into a full family. This allows for a broader use of the typeface, from exhibition identities to book jackets. Its wide cut, sharp details and unique shapes instantly create a personable and robust identity. Mazagan comes in four weights from Medium to Super, with matching italics.
