Blaze Type (1)
- Bocuse Font Family
- BlazeType was commissioned in spring 2021 by the communications department of Paul Bocuse to digitise the late chef's handwriting into a usable typeface. Working from 420 archival handwritten images, the studio selected glyph models, vectorised them, and resolved legibility issues including x-heights that were too variable and clogged counterforms. Rather than smoothing the script into a homogeneous cursive, the team preserved the handwriting's irregular character through 192 contextual ligatures covering frequent French digrams, trigrams, and complete words. Glyphs absent from the archive were drawn in marker and digitised to match the original spirit.
