 Family Overview
Styles About the Font LL Bradford is an all-purpose ­­serif
font family conceived as a versatile
tool for high-volume text setting.
­Developed and elaborated over ­the
course of ten years, it’s a contem-
porary take on ‘Römische Antiqua’
(1884). Of German origin, this
widely popular design rapidly
spurned a number of copies from
various foundries across Europe
and the US. It also served as one o ­f
the references for the hugely
successful ‘Plantin’ (1913), as well
­as Stanley Morrison's timeless
‘Times New Roman’ (1931).
One of Brunner’s primary ­goals
had been to transpose the physical
­presence and unmistakable
character of hot metal type into the
digital realm. Continuously
adapting and refining the design,
Brunner gradually extended
­­­the family to a wide range of cuts
­from a delicate Light to a strong,
powerful Black, and finally added
­a Monospace cut.
LL Bradford – Technical Documentation & Specimen
Initiated for use ­in text-heavy
editorial projects­and books,
LL Bradford offers ­rich, ­colourful
rendering to a wide variety of
applications, effort­lessly bringing
­a strong and convincing
­manifestation to any page or
screen. Its robust construction
­and elegantly flowing italic curves
lend this sophisticated serif a
­functional, yet playful feel, making
it a comfortable choice in both
serious and informal contexts.
Brunner and his partner Julia
Born first used LL Bradford in 2007
for Casco Issues, a Dutch art
­publication, and prominently
featured it again in their exihibition
catalogue and street poster
­­designs for documenta 14 in Kassel
and Athens (2017), for which
­he ­also produced a Greek version.
Laurenz Brunner (*1980),
­a leading international voice in
graphic design, is running his
­own practice in Zürich, where ­he
­also initiated Source Type, a
typographic research facility and
annual residency for Amster­dam-
based Rietveld Academy. He
previously authored LL Akkurat
(2004) and LL Circular (2011), ­t wo
of the most influential sans
serif typefaces of the last decade.
