Marcel’s Letters: A Font and the Search for One Man’s Fate

BookEnds event with graphic designer Carolyn Porter

In early 1943, Marcel Heuzé was one of hundreds of thousands of ordinary French citizens deported to Germany. As German men vacated jobs in factories, farms and mines to fight on the eastern and western fronts, thousands of positions needed to be filled. And those positions were filled by men like Marcel.

Graphic Designer Carolyn Porter discovered Marcel’s Letters while looking for historic fonts. What she discovered was his story.
