Milieu Grotesque is an independent Portugal-based digital type foundry best known for their typeface, Maison Neue ("Maison" meaning "Home" in French). In 2010, the studio was founded by Timo Gaessner and Alexander Colby, who both practice graphic and type design. Their focus lies in providing typefaces with the highest design flexibility, resulting in a small yet refined library which is being expanded and updated.[1]
Maison Maison (Mono and Regular) was originally made for the corporate identity of Thomas Bendel Architect, a Berlin architecture firm. The typeface attempts to bring an industrial feel through stiff letterforms. It was designed by Timo Gaessner[5], and publicly released in 2010, with a revised version published 8 years later[6]).File:Maison Screenshot.png
Maison Neue Maison Neue, which was designed in 2012 by co-founder Timo Gaessner, is the sister family of Maison, with the visible difference lying in the optical corrections and less rigid structure. Besides that, an extended style and monospaced style were added to the existing family.
