Adelphe Trouble
Typothèque Bye Bye Binary · Cédric Rossignol-Brunet, Eugénie Bidaut · 2024
A fork of Eugénie Bidaut's Adelphe, developed by Cédric Rossignol-Brunet for the redesign of the journal Troubles dans les collections, with three subfamilies named after months of the French Revolutionary calendar.
About
Adelphe Trouble extends the Adelphe typeface through a derivative version created in the context of a specific editorial commission. The three subfamilies – Germinal, Floreal and Fructidor – each span Regular, Semi Bold and Bold weights with matching italics. The project emerges from the gender-inclusive type foundry Bye Bye Binary, whose output prioritises typefaces designed with non-binary and queer publishing contexts in mind.
Classification
The typeface appears to be a humanist serif, forked from Adelphe by Eugénie Bidaut, with subfamilies named after French Revolutionary calendar months suggesting an organic, text-oriented design sensibility.
