Slab companion to a popular upright italic

Bree Serif is a slab serif family designed by Veronika Burian and José Scaglione, released by TypeTogether in 2013 as a companion to the 2008 sans family Bree. The family spans six weights with matching italics, totalling 12 styles, all optimised for screen use. It preserves handwriting-rooted letterform details from its sans counterpart while broadening editorial utility, remaining readable at text sizes and distinct in headlines.

Insights

The design retains specific character quirks shared with Bree: single-story 'a', cursive 'e', rhythmic 'k', and looped italic forms.
Upright styles include stylistic alternates for 'a', 'e', 'g', 'k', and 'y' to allow a more neutral appearance when needed.
The family won three awards in 2014: ED-Awards Gold, ISTD, and Tipos Latinis.
Engineering credit went to Sonja Stange, separating technical production from lead design.
