Design Notes

Brisbane is an economically proportioned humanist sans serif designed for use in text settings. The family of ten styles offers a range of weights from light to bold with accompanying Italics. Brisbane is also available as a variable font for adjusting weight grades with fine precision. OpenType Features provide useful alternates for enhancing character recognition at a distance and a selection of orientation and location devices. You can see Brisbane in use as the main font choice on our website.

Brisbane's design was inspired by the capital city of Queensland, Australia. Over the last decade, the city has transformed from a large country town to a contemporary metropolis, and it is now positioned to share its talent and beauty with an international audience at the Olympic Games of 2032.

Brisbane was designed by Troy Leinster © 2012.
