About
Inspired by the corporate logotypes of the sixties and seventies, BD Retrocentric occupies the space between retro nostalgia and period-specific futurism. Available in one weight with broad Latin language support across more than twenty languages, it is aimed at identities and headline work that wants to evoke the typographic confidence of large traditional companies from that era. The character set covers standard Latin extended glyphs including diacritics for Western and Northern European languages.
