Victoria Rushton started Marcia, her first typeface, with the attitude of a letterer. Its high-contrast roman echoes the Modern styles of the 19th century, while the sturdy italic provides a base for its decorative variations. Both roman and italic, with their unusual ornamental ligatures, are filled with a spirit of lettering, but Marcia remains wholly typographic, ready for use in titling, food packaging, and children’s books; FB 2015 For additional license options like app and enterprise, visit Marcia on [Type Network](https://store.typenetwork.com/foundry/victoriarushton/fonts/marcia).
