About the typeface
Bluteau takes its name from Raphael Bluteau, the Portuguese lexicographer and author of the Vocabulario Portuguez e Latino (1712–1721). Conceived as a comprehensive typographic system for scientific, academic, and editorial publishing, Bluteau combines clarity, precision, and versatility. Its carefully differentiated letterforms provide a calm, unobtrusive reading experience, while its extensive typographic ecosystem addresses the demands of dictionaries, complex scholarly texts, and specialised publications. Bluteau reflects DSType’s commitment to creating robust, thoughtful typefaces that unite functional excellence with a distinctive typographic identity.
