His fonts:
◉ Romain BP and Romain BP Headline (2007). He states: Based on the Commission Jeaugeon's models and on Philippe Grandjean's classic character, the Romain BP celebrates the marriage of geometric rationality and elegance, of science and craftsmanship. The Romain BP Text is actually closer to the Commission's model than Grandjean's Romain du Roi. It is more synthetic in its structure, more radical, and thus, more modern. It is a contemporary text typeface based on a structure that was created in 1690, not a revival mimicking Greandjean's shapes..
◉ Sang Bleu (2008), designed for the magazine SangBleu. This is a fantastic set of fonts based on the structure of Romain du roi. The collection also extends to extremes unusual like the Hairline Compressed or the Hairline Sans, providing graphic designers very strong stylistic tools. It includes light serif faces and very structured and geometric sans faces. I expect this project to be showered with awards.
◉ Celsiane (2007), a sans face with a chiseled-in-stone feel. Still being developed, it is based on Party's work at ECAL in 2004.
◉ Esquire (2009): A custom headline face originally designed in 2007 for the gentleman's magazine Esquire under the art directorship of David McKendrick. It will be commercially released in 2009.
◉ Aurora (2008, an experimental geometric face): not available.
◉ Hebdo (2008): a private typeface for the swiss news mag L'Hebdo. It has two slab weights and nine sans weights.
◉ Rosette BP: a serif face under development.
◉ Didot BP: Codesigned with Maxime Buechi in 2003, this will be released in the spring of 2009.
◉ La Police BP is a serif face by François Rappo.
◉ Folkwang (2008): an exploration in the area of artsy transitional faces.
◉ Codesigner in 2006 with Maxime Buechi of a corporate typeface for the Centre for Curatorial Studies Bard&Hessel Museum, New York.
◉ BP Diet (2009) is an extremely fat and rounded jello-fed typeface. Chris Lozos calls it morbidly obese.
◉ Suisse BP International (2011) by Ian Party is a very "Swiss" sans family by Ian Party.
◉ New Fournier BP (2011) is a 24-style Fournier family by François Rappo.
◉ Simplon BP (2011) and its monospaced brother Simplon BP Mono (2011) were made by Emmanuel Rey. This geometric sans was made for information design purposes.
