Brea
Canada Type · Corey Holms
A seven-weight blackletter family that renders an Old English hand through a dot matrix grid, merging medieval letterforms with early-1980s electronic print aesthetics.
About
Brea, originally conceived by Corey Holms, places the visual language of Old English calligraphy onto a dot matrix structure, the earliest form of electronic printing. The resulting anachronism is developed across seven weights from Thin to Bold via interpolation, giving the family a range beyond typical novelty treatments. Each font contains over 395 characters with support for the majority of Latin languages.
