From the foundry
BS Synthetik is an expressive, minimal geometric sans-serif typeface with generous proportions. Its modern shapes create a dynamic rhythm while remaining grounded in classic geometric models: a contemporary interpretation between Futura and Johnston. As a geometric humanist with very low contrast and smooth curve connections, BS Synthetik employs vertical-cut terminals that lend both speed and clarity to its voice. This structural logic carries through to other details: the f and t feature asymmetric crossbars that extend only to the right, while the Q balances its circle with a vertically trimmed tail that reaches beyond the bowl. Even the 4 reflects this approach, with a vertical stem that stops cleanly at the horizontal crossbar to create an open triangular counterform. Completing the system, alternates such as a straight-stemmed j and a geometric-cross t provide subtle variations without breaking the overall rhythm.
