BS Notion
Bolid System · Maël Bächtold · 2025
A ten-weight geometric sans from Swiss foundry Bolid System, drawing on early grotesque traditions with straight terminals, slightly condensed proportions and optional circular alternates.
About
Designed by Maël Bächtold and released in 2025, BS Notion spans Hairline to Black with matching italics across 20 styles, plus a variable font. Straight terminals on characters like a, f, g, r, t and Q give it a functional, utilitarian character, while two sets of OpenType alternates let the designer shift tone: one converts oval terminals to near-circles, the other rounds punctuation and diacritics for a softer texture. Its slightly condensed proportions make it efficient on the page without sacrificing typographic rhythm.
Classification
Described explicitly as a geometric typeface rooted in early grotesque tradition, with clean straight terminals and slightly condensed proportions characteristic of geometric sans design.
