From early on, Marleen knows that the letters of a text matter more to her than what it says. Born into a successful family of advertising people and illustrators, she dreams of something truly great: inventing the perfect typeface. At art school she has the wind at her back, her pioneering spirit drives her on, and soon she is in the middle of the working world of the eighties, where flexibility is ever more in demand in advertising and design. Marleen is ambitious and overcomes every obstacle, yet she has to take care not to lose sight of her dream: not a career, but a path of her own.
