Brinkmanship is releasing its new CD this Sunday April 10th in the Progr Kulturzentrum Bern. Read more about the event in the Berner Kulturagenda.

If you want to know more about Brinkmanship it might be worth to read some lines about the term Brinkmanship in Wikipedia. Brinkmanship has been taking musical risks within the last 15 years in the electronic jazz genre.

The release Party will be supported by BD VJ Artwork featuring some real 3D experiences with Anaglyph Animations. 3D Glasses will be available @ the event. (all gfx&animation © bd:2011).

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“If a font looks outdated at the moment – the font is probably just some years ahead.”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