Bricolage Grotesque

About

Bricolage Grotesque is a blend of historical sources, technical decisions and personal feelings. It started as a fork of Mayenne Sans, an open-source single weight font designed by Jérémy Landes. It evolved by reinforcing cues from French sources, namely Antique Olive, and British sources, more obviously from the Grotesque series by Stephenson Blake. Using modern aesthetics and technology, it aims to traverse an emotional landscape that stretches back to Mathieu’s grandfather crossing the ‘Méditerranée’ and ends with Mathieu’s own experience as a Frenchman living in England for over a decade.

Bricolage Grotesque is designed by Mathieu Triay (1989 ‍—). This typeface is dedicated to his grandfather, Edgard Triay (1928 ‍— ‍2010).
