Bach Police

Bach, designed by Y. Tomita of the School of Music at Queen's University of Belfast, is a free Didone serif with stately, refined forms. Fine hairlines and broad vertical strokes, plus sharp unbracketed serifs, give the smoothly rounded letters a crisp, formal silhouette with generous white interiors.

Publishing is its clearest setting, with pronounced stroke changes suiting literary covers and elegant magazine features, as well as concert programs that need a strong typographic centerpiece. Album packaging and recital posters can draw on the same classical association, where the graceful curves echo the poise and precision of orchestral and chamber music.
