Syntax BQ Regular

Syntax BQ Regular is a landmark typeface designed by the Swiss master Hans Eduard Meier. Originally released by the Stempel foundry in 1968, it is widely regarded as the first true humanist sans-serif. Unlike the rigid, geometric or grotesque models of the mid-20th century, Syntax was modeled after the proportions and calligraphic structures of Renaissance-era serif typefaces, giving it a natural, organic flow that is rare in the sans-serif category.

The BQ designation indicates its release through the Berthold library, ensuring high-quality digitization and precise kerning. This font is renowned for its exceptional legibility and timeless elegance. Its open counters and varied stroke weights make it a versatile tool for both complex information design and high-end branding projects, successfully bridging the gap between historical tradition and modern functionalism.
