BVH Stef is a new custom typeface collection, created for La Cité du Design in Saint-Étienne by BVH Type as part of a design project by Baldinger•Vu-Huu. The new visual identity, based on a large and playful variation of typographic characters, was launched during the 13th International Design Biennial of Saint-Étienne in May 2025.

This catalog has been published as part of the Biennial exhibitions whose theme was Ressource(s), présager demain/Resource(s) – in English: “Foreseeing the Future”.

This typeface includes a wide range of alternates that closely imitate the variations typical of handwriting.

There are two versions of the typeface: a text version and a display version. The display version places greater emphasis on the fluidity of the hand-drawn stroke.
