“...all good typography is modernist”
Brise carries the movement of air. In French and German, it means “breeze”—a drift slipping between buildings, filtering through spaces. In architecture, brise-soleil structures break sunlight into patterns of shadow and clarity. The same principle shapes stencil type: deliberate breaks hold the form together, allowing it to breathe. Stencil and breeze share a paradox: the play between the visible and the invisible. A stencil is defined as much by its strokes as by the voids that interrupt them. These gaps are not losses but intentions, precise pauses that give structure its rhythm, its balance between weight and air. Born from necessity, stencil type has moved beyond the realm of industry and function. What was once a practical tool for signage and printmaking has become a language of its own—fragmented yet whole, mechanical yet expressive. In urban landscapes, in editorial design, in artistic exploration, stencil type carries a pulse of repetition and texture, a sense of control and freedom intertwined.

Description

Brise is a stencil type family inspired by the interplay between air and structure. Like a breeze drifting through space, its forms are shaped by both presence and absence. Rooted in the architectural idea of the brise-soleil, Brise explores how deliberate gaps can give rhythm, clarity, and breath to type. The family started with Text, designed for subtlety and flow; Display, more condensed and assertive; and Extreme, bold but still airy and more expressive. The additional weights Text Regular and Display Bold expand its usability. 

Stencil and breeze share a paradox: the play between the visible and the invisible. A stencil is defined as much by its strokes as by the voids that interrupt them. These gaps are not losses but intentions, precise pauses that give structure its rhythm, its balance between weight and air. Born from necessity, stencil type has moved beyond the realm of industry and function.

Available also as a Variable Font (on demand).
