Syne Font

Syne Font is where structure meets creativity. Designed by Lucas Descroix and the Bonjour Monde team, this typeface takes the simplicity of geometric sans serifs and flips it just enough to make it feel unique. Originally created for the Synesthésie art center, Syne wasn’t just made to look good; it was made to feel experimental, playful, and open to interpretation. Whether you're designing editorial spreads, modern websites, or bold identity systems, Syne Font helps your words stand out with confident rhythm and a hint of controlled chaos.
