OVERVIEW

Concorde 2.0 is an elegant Contemporary serif display typeface that artfully blends influences from 1970s editorial typography with the sophisticated flair of the French Art Deco period. Concorde bridges the gap between high-contrast Modern serifs and the more restrained Transitional styles, drawing inspiration from classic French typography, with a softer, more romantic interpretation.

Originally released in 2020 as a single weight, Concorde has been meticulously remastered and expanded in 2025 into a sophisticated five-weight family ranging from Thin to Bold. This comprehensive update introduces refined details, harmonized proportions, and an extensive character set that preserves the distinctive characteristics that make Concorde unique. Concorde includes comprehensive Latin language support, carefully crafted punctuation, and a range of OpenType alternates.

The typeface's distinctive personality emerges through its thoughtfully designed alternate characters, which introduce subtle curves and flourishes to the traditional forms without compromising its core elegance. Notable features include the graceful alternate 'A' with its curved left stem and the swash-like “e”, bringing a hint of calligraphic flair and decorative elegance to the otherwise traditional structure. This system of alternates, influenced by the expressive display types of the 1970s and early 1980s, and controlled flourishes from French Art Deco posters, provides designers with the flexibility to shift between classical and more dramatic applications while maintaining sophistication. The result is a typeface that feels both historically informed and decidedly contemporary.

Concorde excels in contexts where classical refinement meets contemporary utility. Its unique blend of 1970s editorial sophistication and French Art Deco flair makes it especially effective for projects requiring both elegance and creative flexibility.
