Bricolage Grotesque is a collage of lots of different things: historical
sources, technical decisions and personal feelings. It started as a fork of
Mayenne Sans, an open-source single weight font designed by Jérémy Landes
(Studio Triple). It evolved by reinforcing cues from French sources and
British sources: the compressed weights lean more towards the anxious and
wonky tones of Grotesque Nº9 and the regular weights have a bit more of
Antique Olive's relaxed and confident attitude. The smaller optical sizes
become more neutral and reflective of contemporary sans serifs, notably
through the use of exaggerated ink traps.

By blending iconic British and French designs with modern trends and tools, it
aims to traverse a complex typographical and emotional landscape. At the same
time, it’s so steeped in historical sources and references that it’s hard
to call it anything but a re-interpretation of the same ideas but for a
different purpose: trying to express visually what it feels like to move
countries and rebuild, what it feels like to have a hybrid identity where you
cannot be what you were and yet you can never truly be anybody else.
