Grifi is a website created in 2021 by B⁂D as a way to pursue its master thesis research on the notion of idea in type design. It tries to explore textual potentials through essay, fiction, tools, thought experiment, and the production of typographic families. It likes esoterism practices & occult philosphy.

Never hesitate to write to us. Whether it is to propose a typeface, an article, a fiction, or simply to talk about typography ——> Mail : : Newsletter : : Instagram : : Twitter !
