BD Plakatbau specimen from Type Different

A minimal all-caps geometric display face from Büro Destruct, recognised from its use on several Radiohead album covers.

About

Released in 1995, this was one of the earliest typefaces from Büro Destruct and remains their most widely recognised, in part through its association with Radiohead's album artwork. The character set is extremely limited, covering basic Latin and a handful of German umlauts, making it a purely display proposition. Available as a free download for personal use, with a commercial licence available to purchase.

Classification

An all-caps geometric display face with a minimal character set, designed in a bold placard style consistent with constructivist and Swiss poster traditions.
