Originally commissioned for GQ France, this grotesque draws on French vernacular typography and Art Nouveau to produce letter shapes that are eccentric without being decorative.
About
Baton Nouveau is a 28-style grotesque family spanning seven weights in two widths, Regular and Condensed, each with matching italics. The design was born from a magazine commission but carries a broader range, with character set coverage extending to Cyrillic and Greek and a full suite of OpenType features including stylistic sets, tabular and lowercase figures, and fractions. A variable font is included with the complete family, covering weight, width and slant axes.
Classification
Baton Nouveau is a grotesque sans with practical, straightforward letterforms; its Art Nouveau and French vernacular influences introduce eccentric details within an otherwise clean grotesque structure.
