CBC/Radio-Canada is a Canadian Crown corporation serving as the national public radio and television broadcaster. The English- and French-language service units of the corporation are commonly known as CBC and Radio-Canada, respectively.
In early 2017, work started on a custom typeface for use by CBC/Radio-Canada. In 2021, this typeface was expanded to cover a wider range of weights and now includes roman and italic variable fonts, and in early 2023, the family was extended to include the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Unicode block.
This project has been selected as a winner at the 2018 Communication Arts Typography competition in the Typeface Design category.
The latest release is available on Google Fonts.
Radio-canada has the following axes:
| Axis | Tag | Range | Default | Static Instances |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | wght | 300 to 700 | 400 | Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold |

Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.
If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer, you will need to install the yq utility. On OS X with Homebrew, type brew install yq; on Linux, try snap install yq; if all else fails, try the instructions on the linked page.
Then:
make build will produce font files.make test will run FontBakery's quality assurance tests.make proof will generate HTML proof files.This Font Software is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. This license is available with a FAQ at http://scripts.sil.org/OFL
