Tuileries Text

Originally designed for the re-opening of Hotel de Crillon in Paris, Tuileries is a serif typeface family with multiple amounts of weights and optical sizes, from large-size titling to caption text. It was inspired by a 1909 invitation sourced in the archives of the Hotel, where we found an opened typeface reminiscent of the Caslon Open letters style, fashionable at the beginning of the 20th century. We kept the bracketed serifs, the generous leg on the letter -R- and the overall proportions of the sample we had, and extended the family to offer a large range of styles.
