Curly humanist sans in BNP Paribas graphic identity

Bald Condensed

There is a peculiar new humanist sans used on the screens of the local Fortis ATM machines, and it is also featured once on the BNP Paribas website. I know the sample is rather small, but I think there are enough trademark characters to recognise the typeface.

Thanks.

Yves, I checked my Sans Guide, but this must be something newer than I have collected.The asymmetric C doesn’t show up in many fonts, and none of them match the rest of these letters. Not many sans faces have a Roman ’f’ like that either. (All of which, I am sure you know, and that’s why you are asking this.)

Indeed, I’m completely lost with this one. It may very well be a custom designed face. I think I’ll ask around with my French friends. Still, if anybody has a clue or even a lead, please let me know.

Thanks. :^)

It looks a lot like Ronnia by Veronika Burian.

On some PDF there is a “BNP P Sans” with this a & c. (The font is copyrighted for 2008)
