Dean.Collection Font

Designer: Inès Davodeau, Tim Vanhille

The Dean Family is a vibrant tribute to the musical and cinematic culture of mid-20th century America. These typefaces, rooted in the legacy of wood types and period posters, reflect an era of intense creativity when design served as the voice of a culture in full swing. With its four subfamilies, Slab and Gothic + Soft and Sharp, and a total of 400 styles, Dean is far more than just a typeface, it’s a creative tool that transcends time and usage, paying homage to the energy and freedom of a pivotal moment in American cultural history.

The Dean Slab preserves the authenticity of historical forms while introducing a contemporary touch. Its bold serifs and commanding proportions honor the raw energy of posters and advertisements from that era. It’s a typeface that embodies the strength and singularity of the American heritage, while being perfectly attuned to modern sensibilities.
