It includes works from a few friends that kindly responded in my invitation to try the font and design something (anything) with it. Thanks a million to all of you (Christos Tsoleridis + Christos Papatheodorou from togetherdesign, Giannis Kouroudis from K2design and Michail Semoglou from cannotnot design together with Emirihanna Litsa)
Moreover, check out a new variation of BPmono. The bold version of the font has a new stencil brother for those occasions who need the extra air. Check it out as well!
Finally, BPapeloig has been added in the chubby pack (Jan, 2010). The font was designed in 2004 and it's actually the basis (or, version 1.0 if you want) for BPchubby. As its name suggests, it was inspired by Phillipe Apeloig's work on type design and more specifically from his The P.O.S.T.E.R. poster (an all time favourite, I must admit).]]> Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:00:00 GMT http://www.backpacker.gr http://www.backpacker.gr typodarium, 2010.

The first fonts family's name is the ultimate dots pack and I think it says it all ... 30 monospaced "dot" fonts in 6 alternates (round, square, diamond, plus, minus, vertical) and 2 styles (normal and unicase), together with 3 non-monospaced condensed variations (round, square, diamond). Most of the 30 monospaced fonts can be used interchangeably, since they share the same width, allowing you to create stunning layering effects. Check them out in the fonts section! The second fonts family name is BPreplay and it's a redesign of Magenta's MgOpenModata. Small caps and old style numerals were added, while new italics, bold and bold italics were designed from scratch (many thanks to Alexios Zavras for the technical review). In addition, BPmono Bold is introduced, BPmono and BPmono Italics faced some glyph and hinting corrections (many thanks to Nick Tzanos for his help and suggestions) and, finally, BPneon faced some minor changes and corrections.]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.backpacker.gr http://www.backpacker.gr Thu, 4 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.backpacker.gr http://www.backpacker.gr Thu, 2 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.backpacker.gr http://www.backpacker.gr http://ea.backpacker.gr]]> Mon, 11 Jun 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.backpacker.gr http://www.backpacker.gr
