Type Brut is a font foundry that explores art history through the design of display typefaces. It was founded in 2014 by Brian LaRossa. Some Type Brut display faces are reactions to early 20th century avant garde magazines, some are reactions to historically significant works of art. The alphabets have been extrapolated from a handful of letters—each display face is part revival, part invention. Type Brut is an educational experiment which embodies the belief that innovation is born from a well explored past. If you’d like to get in touch, Brian would be happy to chat via email.

This site has been typeset in Roboto, designed by Christian Robertson. It sits on WordPress and has been designed by Brian LaRossa, using the Semplice theme by Semplice Labs.
