BF Garant elegantly balances geometric design with dynamic character!
»The last modern geometric typeface you really need!«
The strict architecture of BF Garant is combined with open counters, tapered spurs and diagonal cut ascenders and descenders that create an open, lively character without denying the straightness of geometry.
About/Description
The large x-height, dynamic details and some more conventional, humanist-inspired letter alternatives (a, g, k, u, y, G, Q - some of which are grouped together in the style set »Text«) make it not only a contemporary graphic element, but a highly legible timeless design tool, is not only ideal for logotypes or contemporary branding use, but also for modern editorial design.
The 1,500 characters per font include ligatures, alternates, line figures and old style figures, small caps, numerals for small caps, fractions, symbols, currencies, arrows etc. In addition, 23 useful OpenType features make BF Garant Std a workhorse for many typographic applications. With the 11 style sets, BF Garant Std can be fully adapted to the user’s requirements without losing its unique character.
Ten weights from Thin to Black and matching italics ensure versatile use of the type family. BF Garant’s characters span the Latin Extended unicode range, covering over 200 Latin-based languages – incl. Vietnamese.
And for those who ever wanted to open a bar on Tatooine, BF Garant Std also includes the currency sign of Galactic Credits! Feel the Font!
