BS Synthetik

BS Synthetik

BS Synthetik is an expressive, minimal geometric sans-serif typeface with generous proportions. Its modern shapes create a dynamic rhythm while remaining grounded in classic geometric models: a contemporary interpretation between Futura and Johnston.

Specimen

BS Synthetik Medium

Dust floats inside the cabin, turning slowly in the artificial dawn. Screens pulse with soft amber tones, their edges fading into shadow. The quiet feels rehearsed, but not unkind. The control panel will waits.

BS Synthetik Black Italic

The orbit drifts in silence, pale light bending across brushed metal. A low hum seeps through the deck plates, steady, deliberate. Somewhere, a signal breathes.

BS Synthetik Regular + Italic (Alternate j l t)

CALISTER hums beneath every surface, a patient architecture of code and breath. Text glows faintly on glass: return  clear remember. No response, only the echo of command.

BS Synthetik Book (Alternate t)

She sits motionless, watching the reflection of her own gaze merge with the blinking cursor. There’s symmetry in the act, a dialogue between form and function.

BS Synthetik Extrabold (Alternate j l t)

Light moves across the hull like liquid glass, shifting slowly as the vessel turns through the dark. The stars outside feel closer than distance should allow; sharp, unwavering, suspended in a silence too complete to name. Inside, every surface carries a trace of intention: smooth metal edges, faint inscriptions, a design meant to last beyond memory. The console breathes in amber tones, each flicker a measured response to invisible data. Time seems to fold here, flattening into something tactile and patient. Beyond the viewport, the horizon of a pale planet curves gently, light bleeding into shadow with mathematical precision. It feels less like travel and more like observation, a quiet rehearsal of eternity, every moment designed, every detail aware of its own stillness.

BS Synthetik Medium Italic

TIME DOES NOT MOVE HERE. It stretches, it listens and it returns.

BS Syhthetik Light

The console glows softly, its surface marked by countless calibrations and quiet hands.

BS Synthetik Book

Light trembles across the hull, fading into the dark like a breath half-remembered.

BS Synthetik Bold

In the archive chamber, letters drift weightless, forming words no one reads.

BS Synthetik Extralight + Italic

ENDLESS HORIZON

BS Synthetik Thin

Beneath the soft hum of circuitry, a pulse repeats, measured, deliberate, almost tender. The interior glows in faded golds and greys, its surfaces worn smooth by routine. Time hums without motion.

BS Synthetik Bold

The planet turns below, slow and indifferent. Faint lights trace the memory of vanished cities, each one flickering like thought suspended in static.

In the control room, symbols pulse faintly between pauses of light. The system runs clean, efficient, detached. Somewhere, data drifts like dust through memory.

About this font

Year of release: 2025
Version: 1.0
Font Styles: 20 + Variable
Design: Maël Bächtold
Team: Arthur Schwarz

BS Synthetik is an expressive, minimal geometric sans-serif typeface with generous proportions. Its modern shapes create a dynamic rhythm while remaining grounded in classic geometric models: a contemporary interpretation between Futura and Johnston.

As a geometric humanist with very low contrast and smooth curve connections, BS Synthetik employs vertical-cut terminals that lend both speed and clarity to its voice. This structural logic carries through to other details: the f and t feature asymmetric crossbars that extend only to the right, while the Q balances its circle with a vertically trimmed tail that reaches beyond the bowl. Even the 4 reflects this approach, with a vertical stem that stops cleanly at the horizontal crossbar to create an open triangular counterform. Completing the system, alternates such as a straight-stemmed j and a geometric-cross t provide subtle variations without breaking the overall rhythm.

The family includes ten weights with matching italics and a variable font covering weight and slant.
