When Mimer reached the top of the hill, Amilias folded his huge arms, and smiled again; for he felt that this contest was mere play for him, and that Mimer was already as good as beaten, and his thrall. The smith paused a moment to take breath, and as he stood by the side of his foe he looked to those below like a mere black speck close beside a steel-gray castle-tower.

“How do you feel now?” asked Mimer in a half-mocking tone.

Oftentimes, when the day’s work was done, Siegfried sat with Mimer by the glowing light of the furnace-fire, and listened to the sweet tales which the master told of the deeds of the early days, when the world was young, and the dwarf-folk and the giants had a name and a place upon earth. And one night, as they thus sat, the master talked of Odin the All-Father, and of the gods who dwell with him in Asgard, and of the puny men-folk whom they protect and befriend, until his words grew full of bitterness, and his soul of a fierce longing for something he dared not name. And the lad’s heart was stirred with a strange uneasiness, and he said,—

“Rather strangely, as if cold iron had touched me,” faintly answered the upstart.

But Mimer’s friends waited in breathless silence, hoping, and yet fearing. Only King Siegmund whispered to his queen, and said, “Knowledge is stronger than brute force. The smallest dwarf who has drunk from the well of the Knowing One may safely meet the stoutest giant in battle.”

Massilia is a tribute to Marseille. This font family is inspired by both Roger Excoffon’s famous work and the the city itself. Balancing between brush-like features and geometric endings. The fonts bring a perfect balance to the rhythmic of a text layout. While allowing one to be able to harvest the full strength of its glyphs’ anatomy when being displayed in larger sizes with the bolder versions of the typeface, it is surprisingly soft and delicate when used in lighter weights, smaller sizes, and long text layouts.
