B612 is the result of a research project initiated by Airbus. The font
was designed by Nicolas Chauveau and Thomas Paillot (intactile DESIGN) with the
support of Jean‑Luc Vinot (ENAC). Prior research by Jean‑Luc Vinot (DGAC/DSNA)
and Sylvie Athènes (Université de Toulouse III). The challenge for the
"Aeronautical Font" was to improve the display of information on the cockpit
screens, in particular in terms of legibility and comfort of reading, and to
optimize the overall homogeneity of the cockpit.
Intactile DESIGN was hired to work on the design of eight typographic
variants of the font. This one, baptized B612 in reference to the
imaginary asteroid of the aviator Saint‑Exupéry, benefited from a complete
hinting on all the characters.
