Minuit specimen from Type Brut

A conceptual display face constructed by doubling Nicolas Cochin with a 77-point vertical shift, made in response to Marcel Broodthaers' misprinted 1960 edition of Minuit.

About

The letterforms are produced by overlaying two instances of Nicolas Cochin offset vertically, creating a ghost-like doubling effect that echoes a printing misregistration. The face covers capitals, numerals, punctuation, symbols, discretionary ligatures and common Latin accents. It is available as a free download.

Classification

Built by doubling Nicolas Cochin with a vertical offset, producing a layered, ghosted serif form that functions as a conceptual display face rather than a conventional text typeface.
