Bilzig
Typothèque Bye Bye Binary · Jeanne Saliou · 2025
A text typeface designed around the specific orthographic needs of Breton, including consonant mutations, inclusive writing conventions and extended European Latin coverage.
About
Developed through academic research by Jeanne Saliou, Bilzig addresses the typographic gap for Brittonic language speakers, accommodating Breton consonant mutations alongside inclusive writing conventions for French and Breton. The design extends its coverage to Gallo, Welsh, French and other European languages, with reading comfort in long-form settings as a central concern. It is released through Typothèque Bye Bye Binary, a foundry committed to gender-fluid and inclusive type design.
Classification
The specimen and extended reading focus suggest a traditional text serif designed for sustained reading comfort. The project's linguistic and cultural context points to a humanist or transitional approach suited to both Breton and French orthography.
