Le Grand Font Family

Le Grand Font Family: Ian Party’s lifelong dialogue with the Romain du Roi has culminated in a typeface that transcends revival — celebrating the union of geometric rationality and elegance, of science and craftsmanship. Born from Enlightenment ideals and reimagined through decades of research and design, this modern interpretation is a powerful synthesis: 108 styles with variable axes in weight, width, and contrast, and features like alternates, small caps, and distinctive double serifs. It draws inspiration from crescent shapes and regal flourishes, including the signature finial of the lowercase ‘l’.

The collection is composed of Romain du Roi, a refined text family, and Le Grand, a sculptural headline companion — two voices in harmony. One speaks with clarity and rhythm, the other declares with contrast and grace. Together, they carry centuries of typographic legacy into the future with contemporary precision and poetic flair.
