BD Colonius
Type Different · 2001
A circular geometric sans-serif from 2001, available in a single Regular weight with a refined, almost precious character.
About
Built around circular forms and geometric construction, BD Colonius sits in the tradition of round geometric sans-serifs but with a restrained elegance rather than the neutrality of more utilitarian designs. It covers a broad range of Latin-script languages including most Western and Northern European languages, with OpenType support for standard ligatures and tabular figures. At a single weight it is suited to display and branding contexts where purity of form matters more than typographic range.
Classification
The foundry describes it as circular and geometric, placing it firmly in the geometric sans-serif tradition with an emphasis on round, optically even letterforms.
