CBC/Radio-Canada is Canada's national public broadcaster. Their mandate is to
inform, enlighten and entertain, in order to strengthen Canadian culture on
radio, television and digital platforms.

 The Radio-Canada font was created in 2017 by Montreal-based designer and
typographer Charles Daoud, in collaboration with Coppers and Brasses and
Alexandre Saumier Demers. It was designed specifically for CBC/Radio-Canada as
a brand unifying information
 font for all the Public Broadcaster’s platforms. Fittingly, for a Public
Broadcaster, this is a peoples’ font and the humanistic style stands out
with distinctive angles and subtle curves. Its x-height ensures excellent
legibility and respects digital
 accessibility standards, making it very effective when used in continuous
text.

 In 2018, the Radio-Canada font won three awards, in the Font Design category
at Communication Arts Typography, Applied Arts Design Annual and at Grand Prix
Grafika.

 Several optimizations saw the light of day in 2021. The number of supported
languages has increased from 106 to 317 Latin languages. In 2023, Jacques Le
Bailly (Baron von Fonthausen) expanded the font to include the support of
Indigenous languages.
