Bourgeois
A squarish geometric sans with 24 styles, drawing on the mid-century modernist tradition of Renner and Novarese while incorporating stylistic alternates rooted in Italian Futurist letterforms.
About
Built on the squarish geometry of mid-century modernism, Bourgeois takes cues from Paul Renner and Aldo Novarese while adding a contemporary warmth that softens its technological sheen. The family spans 24 styles, making it one of Barnbrook's most extensive releases, and includes a set of stylistic alternates derived from early Italian Futurist letterforms for a more radical register. Best suited to branding and identity work where geometric precision needs a degree of character.
Classification
Described explicitly as a squarish geometric font drawing on mid-century modernism and the lineage of Renner and Novarese; the squarish geometry places it firmly in the geometric sans subcategory.
