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.

Typefaces from 2015: Mirador (a high contrast wedge serif typeface family with many angular details).

Typefaces from 2016: Sagona (a Clarendon style slab serif family), Rational (a Swiss style sans family), Rational TW (the typewriter version of Rational).

Typefaces from 2017: Quarion (neo-humanist sans), Milliard (part geometric, part humanist sans family consisting of 22 weights.

Typefaces from 2018: Faktum (an exploration of the geometric genre with modulated joints), Mackay (a transitional serif inspired by Alexander Kay's Ronaldson from 1884), Franca (a neo-grotesk with large x-height named after the typefaces it inherits shapes from Franklin and Helvetica).

Typefaces from 2019: Total Sans (monolinear and widely spaced), Magnat (a high contrast fashion mag sans family in Poster, Head and Text subfamilies).

Typefaces from 2020: Freigeist (a typeface family based on the early British grotesks from the 19th century), Novera (a 40-style geometric sans divided into Novera Modern and Novera Classic subfamilies, characterized by vertical terminals, circular shapes and angular apexes).
