Brûlant is a new Parisian brasserie occupying a converted fire station in the 10th arrondissement. The design leans into the venue’s history with an immersive monochromatic red scheme that creates dramatic impact through layered tones. A custom wordmark made by Arthur Alazard [based on Cortese Black, see the comments] features knife-sharp serifs and a refined circumflex accent, paired with Writer's lighter weights for the menu typography, with support from Switzer. The result is a cohesive system that balances raw intensity with sophisticated restraint, perfectly capturing the experience of dining in this transformed industrial space.

I’m pretty sure this looks like a customised version of Cortese by yours truly.
Dez, is Mark right; did the wordmark start with Cortese Black? We would like to credit all fonts used in a project, including such that were modified.
Hi Florian and Mark,
Yes, Mark is correct – the wordmark is based on Cortese Black.
Arthur, who worked on the wordmark, made several custom modifications to the letterforms to better suit the project’s visual identity, including adjustments to spacing, proportions, and some character details. The triangular element above the Û is also a custom addition.
Apologies for the omission and thanks for helping us properly credit the original typeface!
Merci bien, Dez! I’ve added Cortese to the typeface credits, alongside the “modified typeface” tag.
Thanks Florian! :-)
