A no-nonsense grotesque drawn from Parisian street signs, shopfronts and Brutalist housing blocks.
About
Baudricourt is named after a street in Paris's 13th arrondissement, and it reads like the signs you find there: garage fronts, cobblers, enamel street plates and tower-block wayfinding. Nine weights from Thin to Black with italics and variable fonts cover everything from a whisper-thin headline to a heavy shop sign. A plain-spoken workhorse with a local accent.
Classification
A sturdy grotesque in the tradition of French street signage and shopfront lettering: compact apertures, squared-off curves and a large x-height. Nine weights from Thin to Black with matching italics, drawn to hold up on enamel signs, menus and wayfinding as well as in text.
