Coquette (2001, 2017) is an unconnected upright script, a sort of hybrid between French scripts, such as Typo Upright, and 1930s-era geometric sans serifs, such as Kabel. The idea for this typeface came to Mark Simonson in the early ’90s while he was designing a logo. It took him several tries over many years to get the look he wanted, a process that taught him a lot about type design and drawing letters. Since its release, it’s become one of Simonson’s more popular fonts, which is very gratifying since it’s his favorite of all the fonts he’s designed. In 2017, Simonson expanded the original three weights (Light, Regular, and Bold) to six with the addition of Thin, Extrabold, and Black and also added several alternate characters (lowercase b, o, s, and ampersand) as well as arbitrary fractions, superscript, a full set of f-ligatures, and a bunch of math characters which were not included in earlier versions.
