+The Publi Fluor shop was situated in the northern part of Brussels,
+Schaerbeek, and founded by the father of Madame Christelle Crickx who
+was a trained letter painter. In his day he is—it seems—the first to propose
+fluorescent colors for shopwindow signs. It proves so difficult to paint
+letters on site with that kind of unstable coating that he develops a
+technique based on vinyl that he fluo-colors and cuts by hand in the
+workplace, then sticks at clients shops. Around 1975, his health degrades
+quickly and his daughter is forced to step into the business.
+
+Starting to cut letters with the rounded and skilled cardboard
+templates drawn by her father, Madame Crickx slowly morphs the shapes
+by analysing how typographic niceties confuse her non-trained clients
+and leads to bad letters placement. She progressively removes the
+optical compensation of rounded tops and bottoms, straightens sides,
+and attaches accents for less floating parts. Those moves add a very
+specific orientation to this otherwise quite common bold italic sans
+serif display typeface.
+
+During about fifty years these craft lettres have spread across the
+windows of shopping streets, more and more, and after the
+closure of the shop in the early noughties, they seem to still hold
+their own to the assaults of vector vinyl cutting technology.
