Chantier Regular
Fonderie Bretagne · Lucas Le Bihan · 2024
A single-weight display typeface from Fonderie Bretagne, bearing the industrial name 'Chantier' and the poetic sensibility of its Breton foundry.
About
Released under the Fonderie Bretagne imprint of Lucas Le Bihan, Chantier Regular carries an industrial name that sits against the foundry's characteristically lyrical framing of landscape, surface and elemental forces. Available as a single Regular weight, it suits display and headline use where a considered, unhurried voice is needed. The foundry's focus on Breton identity and geological metaphor runs through its catalogue, and Chantier fits that ethos.
Classification
The name 'Chantier' (French for construction site) and the foundry's poetic framing around surface, traces and primitive forces suggests a display typeface with textural or structural character, likely geometric or industrial in nature.
