About
Designed in 2008 and rooted in a specific industrial artefact, BD Motra takes its letterforms from the stencil graphics on a 1982 Honda CT50 Motra scooter. The face is broad, heavy and uppercase-first, with alternate characters accessible on the lowercase keys. It suits large-scale applications: vehicle livery, cargo markings, building signage and product labelling where an unambiguous industrial register is wanted.
Classification
An all-caps stencil face with wide, heavy letterforms intended for industrial signage and large-scale lettering applications. The stencil construction and uppercase-only primary design place it firmly in the display category.
