From the foundry
Transat is a geometric sans serif typeface with capitals inspired by Art Deco signage found inside the 'Gare Maritime' (literally 'sea station') ocean liner terminals in both Le Havre and Cherbourg, France, in the early 1930s. Transat Text is a more rational sibling with a slightly taller x-height and more even character widths, making it more comfortable for reading. The Transat Text family includes 5 weights plus optically-corrected obliques, providing versatility from display to text applications.
