STORY

Pierre Ferrandez and Eliote Shahmiri met in 2006
at the National College of Arts and Design (ENSAAMA)
Olivier de Serres in Paris.

It was during their time of study together that they developed their skills in Graphic design, Typography
Illustration and global Art Direction.

Eliote and Pierre both worked as Art Directors in highly regarded studios such as H5 and Encore in Paris,
as well as Exposure and Pure DNA in London.

The two have since decided to join forces by creating an independent design office : POLICESTUDIO.
In 2015, they are joined by the Estienne graduated
typeface designer Arthur Alazard.

GUIDELINES

We believe in both the importance of a structured method,
and in the respect of process in creation.
In this framework, drawing has a foundation key role.

Typography is one of our favorite mediums to deliver unique and original statements for each of our clients.
We love bringing this sophistication to big companies, local businesses and individuals.

We are of the opinion that searching for relevant historical references is the best guarantee of result.
Precision and high-level crafting are things we care about.

Beyond graphic design, we believe in interdiscipline.
We are frequently asked to export our skills and artistic point of view in other fields of design.

PREAMBLE

By reading this, you are expressing the desire to give
yourself (or to give your client) a new voice. Congrats.
Typography is a good start.

You will find here some useful information.
Most of the type foundries have the same speech.
A font is considered as a software. And whoever wants
to use a software, needs to buy a license for it.

In the same way, sharing a software is illegal.
So we ask you to not give the fonts you purchased.
If you are a creative, your client will have to buy his
own license, for his particular needs & specifications.

We are passionate: we will always give you the best, and
we hope you will enjoy it.
LICENSING

You have to determine your needs before purchasing
a typeface. These three categories and questions will
help you establish the cost of your license:

→  PRINT USE / DESKTOP
On how many computers will you install the typeface?
→  WEB USE
How many monthly visits do you intend to receive?
→  APP USE
How many downloads do you plan to reach in a year?

Of course it’s not always easy to answer.
But don’t worry, your license can be updated easily
by buying an additional license using the same contact
informations. We lean on you for this. You have our trust.
Well, that was the trickiest part.
PROCESS

You can shop safely. All the transactions executed on our
website are secured by Stripe. When you will have
completed the payment process, an instantaneous e-mail
will be sent to you, with a link to download your files.
Be careful, your link can be used only once.

If we update a font you purchased, we will be delighted
to send you the update without any other fee.
For more legal informations. You can read our EULA here.
Basically, it is the contract between you and us.

SPECIALS & QUESTIONS

If you have a special order or a special functionality you
would add to a font you purchased, please let us know.
If you have any questions write us.
