Bougainville specimen from ParaType

A condensed display family from TypeAssociates drawn from early 20th-century gothic models, particularly Binner Gothic, with a high axis and generous x-height across four weights.

About

Taking cues from Binner Gothic and its contemporaries, Bougainville adopts the compressed proportions and raised stroke axis typical of early 20th-century poster lettering. Four weights spanning Light to Heavy make the family practical for headline and poster work. The generous x-height aids legibility at display sizes.
