About

The Design of Chavalard

Remy Bender

Sans Serif

Open Source

Chavalard font is a contemporary stencil typeface by Remy Bender designed for sharp, distinctive display applications. This fancy face brings industrial character with artistic edge to creative branding and experimental design. Chavalard's stencil construction and sharp details create memorable headlines. Particularly suited for galleries, creative studios, and avant-garde brands. Works at display sizes. Pairs with clean text fonts for contrast.

Chavalard was crafted by Remy Bender. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Sans Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Lineal classification, Chavalard features no serif extensions on stroke terminals and stroke contrast ranging from monolinear to subtly modulated. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for user interface text and navigation elements.

Chavalard is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency for both digital and print applications, with 4 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
