I have long had a love of French culture. As I was listening to Édith Piaf during my Handlettering and Font design course, I was inspired to create a font inspired by early 1900s French advertisements for soap. It's from there that I got the name ‘Savon’ which means soap in French. 

​

Savon is a condensed serif. It has a very high x-height and has both high and low crossbars. There are only two widths of line for the entire font and most letters are identical in size.

​

Since the name was so fitting, I created a line of bar hand soaps from the letters. I combined watercolor backgrounds and vintage drawings of women and flowers with my letters to create a feminine and soft design for mon Savon pour ses mains.
