Bijou Type

Hello, I’m Dan, and Bijou Type is home to a small collection of my thoughtfully crafted type families, informed by a decades-long career in design, technology, and typography. Bijou typefaces grow out of ideas that have simmered for quite a while, fed by my deep fascination with type, lettering, and how each is used.

I welcome any interest in customization or expansion of the Bijou typefaces, as I would like to see people make the most of them.
