“Twelve years ago, traveling between the Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway, I started drawing a typeface that I have finally finished – in New York City. Cassis took inspiration from the visual environments I found on both sides of the Atlantic; this is its story, and a reflection on how relocating from the orderly visual environment of my native Switzerland to the joyful cacophony of New York City has changed my way of looking at, and thinking about, letterforms.” Nina Stössinger
