ABOUT

René Bieder

Berliner (b. 1982) who made the ultrafat counterless typeface RB Titrage Number One (2010). RB No3.1 (2012) is an elliptical sans family that has 18 styles. RB No2 (2011) is a free geometric, gothic display font inspired by the German industry in the late 19th century. RBNo2.1 (2012) is a condensed sans serif typeface with a technical and geometric appearance. In 2012, he started his own commercial foundry.

Quadon (2013) is a slab serif that seems ideally suited for information design. Gentona (2013) is a neutral neo-grotesque sans that has 18 styles/weights. His last typeface family of 2013 is Canaro, a spurless simple information design sans with very large counters---some weights are free.

Still in the early 20-th century tradition of neutral sans typefaces, but with influences from breakaway designs such as Futura and Avant Garde, René Bieder created Campton in 2014. The excellent slab serif version of Campton is Choplin (2014). Just before the end of 2014, he surprised with yet another powerful sans typeface family, Galano Grotesque, the punchier Galano Grotesque Alt, which shows geometric roots that go back to Futura, Avant Garde and Avenir, and the display version Galano Classic, which has smaller x-height.
