FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




BPG Fonts [Besarion Paata Gugushvili] Besarion Gugushvili (born 1945) is a Georgian politician and a former Prime Minister of the country. Gugushvili was appointed prime minister after Tengiz Sigua resigned in August 1991. The closest associate of Georgia's former President Zviad Gamsakhurdia, he followed him into exile after the 1991-1992 coup and participated in the 1993 uprising. After the failure of the uprising and Gamsakhurdia's death, Gugushvili was granted political asylum in Finland. Now, I do not know if this same guy is the Georgian type designer, Besarion Paata Gugushvili, who made a series of Georgian fonts with the acronym BPG in the font names and ran BPG-InfoTech.
