About
Self Modern Bold is a single-weight release from Fonderie Bretagne, the type practice of Lucas Le Bihan based in Brittany. It draws on the modern serif genre, characterised by high contrast between thick and thin strokes and a vertical stress. The page offers little further technical detail, suggesting this may be a boutique or experimental release rather than an extensive type system.
Classification
The name explicitly references the 'modern' serif genre, suggesting high-contrast vertical stress typical of Didone or rationalist serif styles. The 'Bold' designation indicates this is a specific weight variant within the Self Modern family.
