Brett
Bitmap construction meets historicist sensibility
Brett is a matrix typeface by Matthieu Cortat, released in 2004 under 205tf. It is built from rounded, overlapping bitmap forms that sit between techno aesthetics and historicist detailing. The family comprises a single Roman style with OpenType features; small capitals and old-style ligatures are cited in the source description.
