Pilowlava v1.1
22 March 2022Ukrainian design Maksym Kobuzan added the Cyrillic to Pilowlava, allowing speakers of Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Serbian languages to play with the typeface. The unicase approach of Pilowlava particularly suits the Cyrillic script and Maksym made a good use of his playful mind to offer a truly original Cyrillic.
Gulax v0.229 March 2021Updated charset to Velvetyne Standard Charset
Cleaned some glyphs
Changed the xheight
Spacing and kerning
Le Murmure v1.323 March 2021Added support to Latin Extended.
Ouroboros 2.122 February 2021Improved some curves & added some symbols suggested by artist Hélène Mourrier. More queer/alternative-culture symbols will be added in the future.

A ghost town or alternatively deserted city or abandoned city is an abandoned village, town, or city, usually one that contains substantial visible remaining buildings and infrastructure such as roads. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it (usually industrial or agricultural) has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as floods, prolonged droughts, government actions, uncontrolled lawlessness, war, pollution, or nuclear disasters. The term can sometimes refer to cities, towns, and neighbourhoods that are still populated, but significantly less so than in past years; for example, those affected by high levels of unemployment and dereliction.

Degheest : All Styles
After discovering Ange Degheest’s archives at the Rennes School of Fine Arts, we decided to put together an exhibition that attempted to finally give the designer the full recognition she deserves.
Degheest : FT88 Expanded
In this exhibition, visitors learnt about Degheest’s life story and professional achievements, and discovered many original archival documents that had never previously been presented to the public.

In addition to this historical research, we revived some of Ange Degheest’s most remarkable typefaces and lettering work, which are now available in digital format under an Open Source license on Velvetyne Type Foundry’s website.

To revive means: to resurrect, to reactivate, to renew; and in many ways our work consisted in a kind of resurrection. We had indeed to reactivate the memory of Ange Degheest by diving in her archives, by exhuming the story of a woman who lived through many ages and locations.

Only once we had acquired a good grasp of her life story, were we able to revive her typefaces. Reviving her designs and distributing them widely, free of charge, is our way to honour Ange Degheest’s memory and to give them a new life in the 21st century.
