PVC

PVC is a rambunctious display sans that plays at the edges of

width and weight. As those in the (plumbing) industry know,
PVC stands for ‘polyvinyl chloride’, but most of us know about
PVC because of the pipes and other objects that are made
of the hard, plastic polymer. PVC is kind of a wonder plastic,
because it is both extremely durable and incredibly versatile.

Which is actually a great way to describe PVC, the typeface:

the family includes four super-varied styles (Menu, Promo, Banner,
and Banner Ultra), all of which share a hearty backbone while
flaunting very different shapes. Banner is obsessed by filling
the — horizontal — space: a store sign, rolling papers packaging,
a truck tarp, drumsticks… You name it. Of course, Banner can also
be stacked vertically and deliver a different rhythm. If this is not
enough, the thicker Banner Ultra is even more radical and should
do the work. Promo is here to promote your message, making sure
that it will never be discounted! Compact yet bulky, Promo strives
to be visible, even in tricky situations. Menu is Marian’s personal
take on a typical French brush lettering style (which, decades
ago, lead to the design of the notorious Antique Olive). Menu
is conceived as the go-to style from the family, its sturdiness
being efficient in most design cases.

PVC is not for the uninspired. Hélène Marian’s first retail release
is venturesome, paving a path of possibilities for hierarchy,
juxtaposition, and easy-to-mix styles, achieving the best from the
family. Alternate letterforms and arrows bundled in each style
make logos and headlines even more unique and lively. With such
diverse styles, the possibilities are almost endless.
