ABOUT
Certeau is influenced both by geometric Modernist monoline typefaces and by examples of Dutch and German sans-serif typography from the 1930s. The typeface features expressive, calligraphic details within certain lowercase letterforms.
Certeau is available in three weights across six styles.

Certeau evolved through research into type styles that strike a balance between rationality and idiosyncrasy.

Modifying Certeau
We offer tailored modifications of our existing retail fonts, including Certeau. This can involve anything from subtle adjustments to more extensive reworking, depending on the project’s aims.
By adapting an existing design, we can deliver something distinct and purposeful, without the lead time of a fully bespoke commission.
