Bureau Brut
Bureau Brut is an independent digital type foundry located in Toulouse, France.
We distribute our fonts, these are original and exclusive designs that display Bureau Brut’s taste and demanding attitude. Some were originally designed as custom typefaces, others were born from personal research, but all of them are waiting for you to reach out towards new horizons. Others come from the need for an efficient, straightforward typographic tool and aim at becoming the partners you can always rely on in your day-to-day practice. Lastly, graphic design is an inherently social endeavour that provides us with many opportunities to collaborate with highly talented individuals. Why not take advantage of it? Some of typefaces are testament to these fortuitous or intentional encounters.
Publishing
Graphic designers have outgrown the boundaries of their traditional role : we know today of designers/authors, designers/publishers, designers/entrepreneurs, designers/curators, etc. We think that the pursuit of self-initiated projects can lead to greater opportunities to take graphic design out of its traditional setting and to enhance its ways of interacting with both culture and society. So we’ve decided to put our energy, our determination and our skills into a new series of books dedicated to the culture of graphic design and typography. We pledge to carry on this project according to the strictest ethical standards — working with local printers and binders, taking care of the physical properties and durability of the books, selecting responsible manufacturing and shipping solutions.
