Neue Tarasque
Blaze Type · Matthieu Salvaggio, Léon Hugues · 2023
A humanist sans drawing on Roger Excoffon's French typographic tradition, balanced against Swiss geometric discipline, released as a variable font in three weights.
About
Designed by Matthieu Salvaggio and Léon Hugues at Blaze Type, Neue Tarasque positions itself between Swiss International Style precision and the calligraphic warmth of French humanist letterforms. The family runs from Light to Bold with matching italics, offered as a variable font, and covers Latin European languages with an extensive OpenType feature set. It sits comfortably across editorial, branding and screen work where legibility and personality need to coexist.
Classification
Inspired by Roger Excoffon and French humanist tradition, Neue Tarasque blends Swiss geometric rigour with calligraphic warmth, placing it firmly in the humanist sans category.
