Korhogo Forgeron cuts with the blacksmith's precision, geometric severity and pointed serifs to establish authority without apology. For work that requires both beauty and uncompromising clarity.

Forgeron embodies the blacksmith's relationship to material, each letter shaped through deliberate force, heated and hammered until only the essential form remains.
Named after Korhogo, the northern Ivorian city known for artisanal craft and the dual-faced Wambele masks, Forgeron operates from the principle that beauty demands discipline. The high contrast and angular construction create a typeface that commands attention without pleading for it, sophisticated without softening its edges. It's designed for work that establishes presence.
Forgeron merges sans and serif elements into a synthesis that creates its own category, following the logic of the Wambele mask—combining forms into something that doesn't exist naturally but becomes functionally essential. Use it when the project requires severity without coldness, when typography needs to cut through noise and establish what matters.
