BD Orange
Type Different · 2024
A grotesque sans with calligraphic character, covering Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Japanese Katakana across five weights including a variable font.
About
BD Orange blends grotesque structure with scripty detailing, offering a large glyph set of 1025 characters alongside extensive OpenType alternates, discretionary ligatures and a higher x-height variant. Five static weights run from Thin to Black, complemented by a variable font, making it flexible across titling, logotype and body text settings. Its broad language coverage, including uppercase Cyrillic, Greek and Katakana, extends its usefulness across multilingual projects.
Classification
Described by the foundry as a 'scripty grotesk', BD Orange is fundamentally a sans-serif grotesque with calligraphic influences and stylistic alternates rather than a true script typeface.
