Known for his work in crafting a new visual language for Africa through type, emojis, and cultural tools, Côte d'Ivoire-based Type Designer O’Plérou brings a fresh yet nostalgic perspective to type design with this latest release.

With its soft serifs, rounded letterforms, and smooth transitions, Nadrey exudes sophisticated elegance and a “natural, organic energy,” as O’Pléro describes. Its gentle curves and subtle serifs embody sophisticated softness while maintaining refined elegance. 

“Nadrey is my typographical rendition of love, a bit of nostalgia, affection and self expression. A complete acceptance and surrendering to the subjectivity of life experience, and the will to care for, preserve, and share what we love and find beautiful.”

Crafted to feel inviting yet confident, ideal for projects that require a balance of expressiveness and readability, the font supports 98% of Latin languages globally.

- 300+ glyphs

- Diacritics

- Symbols & fractions

- Latin 1-4 + Latin A Extended

The name Nadrey means “My Heart” in Bété, O’Plérou’s mother tongue.
