BL Fallback
Burrow Lab · Philipp Koller
A parametric grotesque that riffs on the concept of the generic system fallback font.
About
BL Fallback takes the idea of a browser or OS fallback font as its starting point, producing a neutral sans-serif through Burrow Lab's generative process. It is primarily a single-style design, available at low cost, and functions as a utilitarian or conceptual typeface rather than a workhorse family. Its appeal is largely to designers interested in the discourse around system fonts and web typography.
Classification
Confirmed as a 'Fallback Sans' by Burrow Lab, placing it squarely in the sans-serif category. The design concept draws on the idea of system fallback fonts – neutral, generic grotesques like Arial or Helvetica – reimagined through Burrow Lab's parametric generation process.
