History of the Bryant Font
- Eric Olson, a graphic designer by trade, founded the Process Type Foundry in 2002 to pursue a career in typeface design. Included in the Foundry's four original fonts was his Bryant, a font inspired by the Wrico analogue type design kits that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
- Bryant was designed to be a soft, modern-looking geometric sans serif font. Since its release, this design has been expanded to support extended Latin characters (e.g., é, ä, õ) as well as bold and italic formats.
- Revised in 2005, the Bryant font has since been expanded to include a variety of typefaces. Known as the Bryant 2 Font Family, these fonts include the revised Bryant 2, Bryant 2 Pro (with small caps and a variety of number forms), Bryant Light, Bryant Medium and Bryant Bold (ordered by thickness of line weights) and slightly altered "Alt" forms of all the above fonts.
