Paris Vogue uses Curlz font
There has been a trend in Europe where some really funky fonts have been showing up in editorial – sort of as a snarky way of saying, We know this isn’t right, but we’re doing it anyway. The UK edition of Elle Decoration has been playing in this arena for years, which often gives me quite the chuckle.
But . . . Paris Vogue is using Curlz. And they’re taken to task for it by 13-year-old fashion blogger Tavi.
C’mon. Paris Vogue.
Really?

SoCal-based Georges Esquivel combines retro styling with handcrafted quality. Read more about how he’s taken a bite out of ‘Europe’s leading luxury brands.’
