Informations

Nostra plays with a feeling of satisfaction: how a few thin strokes can create the shape of a letter, either cut in a solid mass or traced in the air. Its monospaced width makes Nostra almost pattern-like, half-way between a legible and an abstract system, a bloc of text and an optical illusion.

Nostra presents an atypical couple only brought together by their radical proportions. The Sett is heavy and stable like a brick wall when the Stream, inspired by flourished scripts, graffiti and snakes in jars, is light and all in curves.
