The bold, sensual decadence of vintage.
The clash of contrasts, the elegance of excess. Joyse is a typeface that embraces the tumultuous soul of vintage. At the crossroads of roundness and sharp breaks, it’s an ode to design as provocation. Bold, thick but never heavy, Joyse captures the energy of a time when creativity knew no bounds. It doesn’t follow the rules, it makes them its own. It doesn’t revisit a nostalgic past: it invents a modern icon, both retro and timeless.
Each letter is a balance between gentleness and tension. The incisive “e”, the hypnotic “g”, each glyph has its own character. With its generous curves and sharp edges, Joyse evokes the exuberance of soft carpets, colorful tapestries and the golden age of plastic, in today’s version. A typography that speaks as much of casualness as of visionary design.
Solar and carnal, Joyse is a visual statement. It’s a nod to the boldness and freedom of an era when excess became art, and every shape was conceived as a graphic revolution.
A subtle blend of fluidity and brilliance.
Inspired by insolence and opulence, Joyse embodies an unlikely balance that we love. Its controlled exaggeration reflects the post-modernist movement that has shaken up design in its entirety. The lines are broad and assertive, but every detail is meticulous. While inspired by excess, Joyse retains its share of precision. With one foot in laxity, the other in mastery, it is distinguished by sculpted glyphs. Sinuous as a dance floor, each character brings its own singularity, oscillating between nostalgic lightness and sharp modernity.
Joyse isn’t just a typeface: it’s an attitude. It breaks away from convention and dares a hint of arrogance. It’s proof that elegance can also be provocative.
Use
Logotypes, posters, magazine covers or a strong visual identity: Joyse lends itself to anything that wants to make an impression. It imposes its style and presence like a graphic cry, and that’s precisely what makes it a must-have.
With its sweeping curves and brutal angles, it evokes the flamboyant lettering of vinyl sleeves and the eccentricity of neon lights. It doesn’t fit in: it occupies space. Joyse channels your style into a unique typographic signature. Its imposing fatness and play of visual tensions give it the role of leading actress, transforming every composition into a statement. There’s no room for half-measures: we’re all about assertion.
