Basteleur v2.1

16 May 2023Version 2.1 introduces Greek support for Basteleur Bold and Basteleur Moonlight

Grotesk v3.0

13 January 2023In 2023, a new version of Grotesk developed by Ariel Martín Pérez was released. This new version introduces new weights that are multiplexed, which means that you can change the weight of the font without changing the width of the paragraphs. This new version also presents some subtle optical corrections. Last but not least, it considerably expands the glyphset of the font with a brand new lowercase set as well as language support for Russian, Ukrainian, Tifinagh and many Latin-based languages.

BackOut 2.1

5 October 2022The 2.1 version of Backout presents improved spacing and kerning, some new ligatures and some subtle optical adjustments.

Basteleur v2.0

15 June 2022A bit more than a year after its original release, Keussel adds a new sharp thinner weight to the pre-existing soft bold weight of Basteleur. Welcome Basteleur Moonlight!!!

Amazing workshops by VTF

We organise free workshops based on cool topics. They take place mostly in Paris, but if you want to invite us abroad, do not hesitate to contact us, we love to travel, to speak our French-English and to meet new people.

Organizing workshops is part of our DNA. As we try to have a pedagogic role, sometimes we need to leave our screens for a bit and try some flesh pedagogy and democracy…
