    Dear Velvetyne friends, we've recently left Telegram in favor of other platforms. So, that means that from now on this communication channel will become inactive. If you want to continue receiving information about our new releases, please consider following us on Mastodon ( https://mamot.fr/@velvetyne ) or either subscribing to our email newsletter (https://velvetyne.getsendstack.com/ - it's free and very sporadic). Thank you for your attention during all this time! Best wishes, the Velvetyne Team.

    Yo, people! A new typeface is out on Velvetyne and this one fell into the marmite of bizarre type. Letters is a display typeface available in regular and italic styles. Designed for experimental use, it performs best at large sizes.It derives from a historical interest in the depiction of paper within the realm of printed matter, such as teared ribbons and ornamental backgrounds. It’s a silly examination that tries to render the material quality of paper through the world of vectors, eventually finding a way back onto the paper and therefore living in the false self. Go to https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/letters/ to get it now!

    Out now! Velvelyne, the custom font displayed everywhere on our website, is finally available for download (some of you have asked by mail how to get it, now it's finally available).Velvelyne was born from the skeleton or center line of Liberation Sans, which was treated with a script coded by Benjamin Dumont and executed by Raphaël Bastide. Manon Van der Borght and Mariel Nils then took care of this skeleton until it developed its branches and assumed its outgrowths.Please be aware that this typeface isn't published under the usual SIL OFL license, but under the CUTE Conditions which restrict the use of the font files under certain conditions (such as big companies). Cheers!https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/velvelyne/

    (FR)Nous avons le plaisir de vous convier au lancement de Velvelyne !Rendez-vous à la Librairie Météores (Rue Blaes 207, 1000 Bruxelles), samedi 15 mars à partir de 19h. Nous avons hâte de partager avec vous le spécimen, jouer avec les lettres et fêter cette venue au monde 🧩Velvelyne est un caractère pensé pour le site de Velvetyne en 2023 par Manon Van der Borght et Mariel Nils. Il sera publié sur velvetyne.fr sous la licence CUTE, écrite par Bye Bye Binary. Son squelette a été conçu par un script imaginé par Benjamin Dumond. Répondant à l’orchestration de Raphaël Bastide, les formes ont germé du caractère Liberation Sans. Manon et Mariel ont ensuite pris soin de ce squelette en stroke font, jusqu’à ce qu’il développe branches et excroissances. Dans sa poussée, il s’est étendu en 4 graisses et des ligatures post-binaires 💌.Merci à Ludi pour son aide et son plotter pour la
    EditionsmeteoresLibrairie — Météores éditionsDepuis 2022, les Éditions Météores publient des essais critiques articulant des expérimentations politiques, sociales et esthétiques à des enjeux contemporain. Le projet prolonge celui de la librairie Météores, ancrée dans le quartier des Marolles à Bruxelles.

    What's this, a font for ants? No, a font made of ants! Les Ouvrières is our latest release. Designed by Laure Azizi; it presents letters completely made of ant modules that swarm and giggle around the page. Ants swarm through the forest in search of succulent crumbs. Sometimes hungry, sometimes fighters, they adapt their formations along two variable axes to create six styles, so they can adapt to any situation. They guide us through the winding galleries, perhaps all the way to the queen? Go download Les Ouvrières now and enjoy :) https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/ouvrieres/

    ✨ New Font Update ! ✨This is a fresh take on our classic, Lineal. This update introduces lowercase letters, additional glyphs, and a range from Thin to Heavy weights, all while preserving the vibes of Frank Adebiaye original design. The transformation began in 2019 with Anton Moglia, who reimagined and expanded Lineal's family. Following this, Ariel Martín Pérez contributed to further enhance language support, and improving kerning and spacing.🔗 Download the updated Lineal now on Velvetyne.fr
