About Buzz

Buzz is a typeface designed primarily for large-scale use, intended for bold and

impactful headlines. Its shapes draws inspiration from various archetypal American

wood typefaces, particularly present on the mid-20th-century newspapers front

pages. The initial concept was to capture the imperfect materiality of letters carved

from wood with an overall sense of handcrafted production rather than digital

precision. In this spirit, Buzz deliberately embraces missing or incorrect optical

corrections, creating subtle variations in weight. A controlled flaw that gives the

typeface a slightly unsettling, distinctive character. Despite its very heavy weight,

Buzz maintains a friendly tone thanks to its soft, rounded curves. This contrast gives

the typeface a strong visual presence while retaining a playful setting.
