A. Béton Brut
902 glyphs · wght 100–900 · SOFT 0–100
Load-bearing serifs.
A slab poured, not drawn. At SOFT 0 the corners are shuttering-sharp; at 100 the mix has slumped. Both are true.
Experimental type foundry — Marseille — poured since 2019
We pour letters like concrete: hot, heavy, and left rough where the formwork touched them. Four variable faces. Every axis, fully open.
Move the cursor — the letters take the weight
Type is a structural material.
We leave the formwork marks in.
No revivals. No apologies. No beige.
Atelier Brut draws typefaces the way Brutalists poured buildings: structure first, ornament never, the surface honest to the tool that made it. Every face ships with its entire variable range — if an axis exists, you get all of it. If a glyph came out wonky, we kept it and named the axis after it.

644 glyphs · wght 100–900 · WONK 0–1
The mistakes stay in.
Our text face, cast against warped plywood. The WONK axis tilts stems the way a hand-set line drifts. Set it to 1 and mean it.
712 glyphs · wdth 62 fixed · wght 100–900
Condensed steel for headlines that carry weight they were never rated for. Caps only. It never asked for lowercase.
838 glyphs · wdth 62–125 · wght 100–900
coarse mix, wide set
A wide-body workhorse with gravel in the counters. Sets long captions like ballast: low, even, impossible to tip over.
