Brazarri Pro AOE

Brazarri Pro AOE revives one of the more unusual curiosities of nineteenth-century type design. The alphabet traces its lineage to the eccentric “Bizarre” typeface produced by MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan in 1884, a design that challenged conventional letter construction through sharp geometry and unconventional stroke intersections. Preserved and expanded within the Astigmatic Institute’s Historical Revival Archive, Brazarri Pro transforms this rare typographic specimen into a fully developed contemporary font family. The letterforms retain the distinctive angular geometry that made the original design so striking while introducing a comprehensive modern character set that supports extended languages, fractions, ordinals, smallcaps, and professional figure styles. The result is a historical revival that remains faithful to its roots while offering designers far greater flexibility than the original metal type ever allowed. Brazarri Pro works beautifully in editorial design, poster typography, decorative branding, and historical themed graphics where unusual letterforms create immediate visual interest. Its distinctive geometry also lends itself well to custom lettering experiments, making it a fascinating tool for designers who enjoy pushing typographic forms in unexpected directions.
