About
Originally commissioned for the Grow Deal brand identity by Brand Brothers, DB Bourgeon pairs a precise geometric skeleton with letter alternates that introduce a softer, sprouting quality. Multiple stylistic sets offer considerable variation across characters such as C, D, G, H, P, R, T, X and Y, giving designers room to modulate tone. Latin Extended coverage supports a broad range of Western European languages.
Classification
A geometric display face with structural rigidity and futurist leanings, characterised by a 'budding' formal vocabulary that references its agricultural branding origin. Multiple stylistic sets suggest alternate letterforms with distinctive, playful geometry.
