Brda最初是由波兰设计师Franciszek Otto为Powiat周报设计的。Powiat需要一个新的、动态绘制的无衬线字体用于标题，而Otto的Brda正好符合这个要求。Brda将传统的怪诞字形与诙谐的精巧之处结合在一起，比如在大写字母G中连接处的缺口，Brda展示了一种新颖的设计，当设置为较大字号时效果最佳。该字体以流经波兰波维亚特市（出版Powiat的城市）的布尔达河命名。Brda家族包括三个字重：Regular，Bold和Extra Bold，而且每个字重都带有斜体。 Brda家族的Extra Bold字重是由Linotype GmbH主办的2003年国际字体设计大赛的获奖者之一。 Franciszek Otto还在比得哥什（Bydgoszcz）的艺术中学教授平面设计，他的字体课是学生们的最爱之一。 Brda originally designed by the Polish designer Franciszek Otto for the Powiat weekly newspaper. Powiat needed a new, dynamically drawn sans serif for its headlines, and Otto's Brda fit the bill. Combining traditional Grotesk letterforms with witty subtleties, like the notched-joint seen in the capital G, Brda displays a novel design that works best when set large. The typeface is named after the Brda river, which runs through Bydgoszcz, Poland, the city where Powiat is published. The Brda family includes three weights, each with a companion italic: Regular, Bold, and Extra Bold. The Brda family's Extra Bold weight was one of the winners selected in the 2003 International Type Design Contest, sponsored by Linotype GmbH. Franciszek Otto also teaches graphic design at the Secondary Art School in Bydgoszcz, where his typefaces rank among the students' favorites.
