Amsterdam Serif

Brussels workshop discovery becomes a contemporary type family

Amsterdam Serif is a revival of a wood type discovered in the type case of a Brussels printing workshop called Unitype. Designer Yann Esnault conducted extensive historical research into the letters' origins while simultaneously developing the typeface. The result is a generous reinterpretation of an early 20th-century wood typeface, infused with calligraphic sensibility and stabilised, refined letterforms. Released in 2026, it marks the conclusion of the Amsterdam family's development.
