Typefaces
The common, underlining denominators of all BP typefaces are: (a) support for Greek language, and (b) a huge amount of love injected to each and every one of their characters.

DPSDbeyond
The DPSDbeyond typeface is the result of the attempt made by the students of the Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering (University of the Aegean) in Syros, to design a typeface in a collaborative way, during the short duration of a one-day workshop (that took place on the 12th of November). A number of interesting ideas, concerning both the final result and design collaboration for type design per se, emerged. You can read some thoughts, remarks and other interesting findings regarding the design process in a concise report (currently only in greek).
