Transat is a geometric sans serif typeface, with caps inspired by Art Deco signage - found inside the Gare Maritime (literally sea station) ocean liner terminals in both Le Havre and Cherbourg, France, in the early 1930s. The name Transat is the common shortening of Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, the company that operated majestic ocean liners like the SS Normandie out of Le Havre from 1862-1974. Transat includes many OpenType features, such as ligatures (ff/ft/fft), small capitals, case sensitive forms, stylistic alternates, fractions, and a full complement of proportional, tabular, and oldstyle figures.
