About Bronsimard Font Family


André Simard designed Bronsimard, a font inspired by Henri-Paul Bronsard’s Kébek 101, designed in 1972 and used to create the logo and headlines of the daily newspaper Le Jour, founded in 1978. After all these years, Bronsard contacted his former student to propose a creative venture focused on drawing a variant of Kébek 101 from ideas contained in his research efforts. Simard adapted Kébek 101 to create Bronsimard, a fine blend of character and harmony which we hope will give free rein to your creativity. The final result is a vertically elongated font with very sharp contrasts, somewhat reminiscent of Bodoni and Didot.

About André Simard

André Simard grew up in Abitibi, Québec, Canada. After completing a collegial diploma in graphic design at Collège du Vieux-Montréal in 1978, he worked for a newspaper and a printing company. In 1980, he established his very own design studio. For more than three decades, André Simard demonstrated a particular concern to find the right font for every design project. Seeking to strike a fine balance between design and typography, he ventured in 2005 into the very specialized niche of font design. His vast experience and knowledge of graphic design served as a basis to launch his first font: ITC Migration Sans. Since then, Simard has created five other families of font, . Each one very different, his fonts sharing one common feature: legibility and efficiency in very small sizes.
