About Cedrat
Cedrat is a serif typeface in three optical sizes, each available in six weights, in both roman and italic. Cedrat Display, the titling variant, is contrasted and elegant; Cedrat Standard, the intermediate typeface, works in both large and small sizes; and finally, Cedrat Text, is meant to be more comfortable for reading. Each variant includes a complete character set with 1030 glyphs, covering a wide variety of languages and enabling advanced text composition with its sets of symbols, small capitals, superscript letters, etc.
The fruits and plants we know and appreciate are often the result of crossbreeding. Families and subfamilies that resemble each other closely or distantly and share a common biological skeleton. Like the category of fruits from which it takes its name, the Cedrat typographic collection consists of hybrids with familiar traits but whose uniqueness can also be expressed. Despite their differences, the glyphs and variants are harmoniously united.
Cedrat is initially based on the typefaces called “Hollandaises” from the Berthier & Durey foundry, visible in the 1895 “Spécimen de caractères”: a “family” with thick strokes and high contrast, offered in a single weight in roman and italic. Typical of typefaces from this technical and cultural transitional period between the 19th and 20th centuries, the forms of the “Hollandaises” are hybrid: the axis of contrast varies according to the letters (h, o, a have a straight axis while b, d, p, q, e have a slanted axis), some pleasing inconsistencies create identity. Cedrat retains this free spirit but has been refined to be more coherent and functional.
In order to reconcile the source that was clearly intended for display and the desire to have a typeface that could function in text, the design space was divided into three optical sizes. Each subfamily is broken down into six weights to cover all needs. Finally, the italic design diverges from the source, drawing from the likes of Times and ITC Caslon 223 instead of using Berthier & Durey’s mechanical slant of the roman, which lacked true cursive characteristics.

The Drawing Restraint series began in 1987 as a series of studio experiments, drawing upon an athletic model of development in which growth occurs only through restraint: the muscle encounters resistance, becomes engorged and is broken down, and in healing becomes stronger. In literally restraining the body while attempting to make a drawing, Drawing Restraint 1–6 (1987–89) were documentations made using video and photography. Drawing Restraint 7 marks the influx of narrative and characterization, resulting in a three channel video and a series of drawings and photographs, for which Barney was awarded the Aperto Prize in the 1993 Venice Biennale.
It was not until the advent of MIDI, introduced to the public in 1983, that general-purpose computers really started to play a role as software sequencers. NEC’s personal computers, the PC-88 and PC-98, added support for MIDI sequencing with MML programming in 1982.
