The first selection of BD typedifferent opentype fonts are now available on “HypeForType” a platform for keen eyed creatives to find and buy truly unique, hand-crafted fonts.

An interview is introducing the launch of following Büro Destruct typefaces: BDR A3MiK, BD Emerald, BD Kameron, BD Unicorse, BD Jupiter, BD Mother, BD HitBit, BD Motra, BD Retrocentric and BD Varicolor.

“Balduin” so to speak court musician of Büro Destruct released his 5th studio album “Choose Balduin” featuring a remastered version of the tracks “Büro Destruct – Small City Big Design” and “Büro Discotec”, originally released 1999 as an orange vinyl 7″ single (Out of stock).

Here’s a album teaser video edited with BD VJ visuals:

Since 1995, Büro Destruct is releasing their display and logotype fonts under the label «Typedifferent». The typefaces are categorized in the years of their creation. Over the last 15 years BD made available more than 120 fonts from which about half of them are free. While updateing the site to make the fonts visible on devices running iOS, we added some of our thoughts about Typography:

“The sunny side of typography is experimenting with the visual language.”

“Readability is the underwear – Originality is a dress code.”

“Titles and logotypes with original typefaces stimulate readers curiosity.
Little extra effort to decipher letters will pay out in better recognizability.”

“Typefaces have different stylistic dialects.
It is good to speak the same language as the readers.”

“Typographic rules are here to break.
Letters gain character by interfering their readability.”

“New shapes for typefaces can be found in unreadable things.
Inspiration for new alphabets is everywhere.”

“If a font looks outdated at the moment – the font is probably just some years ahead.”

“A perfect font suffers from personality.”

“Black and white are the colors of letters. Gray is the color of text.”

“A font is never complete.“

Once a year we give away a handful of experimental BD Typedifferent fonts for free.
Here they are: «BD Pipe» (2006), «BD Halfpipe» (2007), «BD Solaris» (1998) which is a remix of Cyclone Graphics «Solar 2000» font, and «BD Relaunch» (2000).

The Stifles (designed by Büro Destruct) are little creatures who spend all of their time kneeling and watching human activities. Their favourite spots are public spaces like coffee bars, windows and shop displays. The almost sold out 8 different Stifles characters from series 1 packed in blind boxes have got a follow up with 8 new characters, this time packed in blister.

A first batch of the BD Stifles series 2 vinyl characters has been made available on IdN’s Pro Shop. They will be also soon available at Kitchener Bern and Büro Discount Zurich.
