Bree, based on TypeTogether’s logotype, is a sleek sans serif that delivers a polished and modern look and feel for branding or headline usage. Some of its most characteristic features are the one-story ‘a’, the cursive ‘e’, the curves in the outstrokes of ‘v’ and ‘w’, the flourish ‘Q’ and the fluidity of shapes on ‘g y z’. Alternate letters of these are available when a more classical look is desired. Clearly influenced by handwriting, Bree shows a pleasant mixture of rather unobtrusive capitals and the more vivid lowercase letters, that give the text a spirited and lively appearance. It is definitely a memorable upright italic.Bree features four sets of numerals, ligatures, alternate characters, fractions, scientific superior/inferior figures and language support for over 40 languages that use the Latin script.
About the designers:

Veronika Burian was born in Prague in 1973. She graduated in Industrial Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich, Germany. Before completing her studies she went to Vienna, Austria, to work as product designer. In 2000 she joined the team of the Japanese designer Makio Hasuike in Milan, Italy. Here Veronika’s interests shifted increasingly from product to graphic design and typography. The decision to focus more exclusively on type design developed naturally, reinforced by her collaboration with Leftloft, a graphic design studio, and her involvement in teaching at the Politecnico of Milan. In 2003 she completed her MA in Typeface Design with distinction at the University of Reading and is amongst other things currently working as type designer at Dalton Maag in London, UK.
Some of her typefaces received the TDC Certificate of Excellence in Type Design in 2004, were selected in the Type Design competition from Creative Review in 2005, and received a merit from the European-wide competition ED-Awards 2007. Her typeface Maiola is also part of the touring exhibition e-a-t.
