See Red Women’s Workshop, Capitalism Also Depends on Domestic Labor screenprint, London, 1975
⁠
In 1974, a group of artists founded the See Red Women’s Workshop to further the women’s liberation movement. Their posters address gender discrepancies in pay, capitalism’s reliance on unpaid homekeeping and childrearing, sexist depictions in advertising, and uniting women against racism.⁠

IvyMazarin just launched.

Mazarin was licensed by Stephenson Blake in 1926. Originally called Astrée and designed by Robert Girard. Published by Deberny & Peignot in 1923.

It was quite a difficult project because there were so many variations of the same letters in Mazarin, Astrée and L'Astrée.
Even within the same page in Mazarin there could be two or three versions of a letter. I liked many of the original quirks of the letterforms and am keeping some while changing others.

I owe a big thank you to @FontsInUse for helpful background history and links. Also, a big thank you to the good people at The Type Founders. And thanks to @letterformarchive for photoscans that I could compare to my own specimens.
