Informations

Petit Frère is a surprising duo, of both rivals and accomplices. It is the quiet sibling to some more outspoken designs from the Plain Form catalogue. Distilled from these sources, namely Grandmaster for the Narrow cuts and Nostra Sett for the Wide, Petit Frère proposes the two extremes of a centerless design space, two takes on the sans-serif genre meant to complement each other.
