Bold-Decisions is operated by Mads Wildgaard, and founded in 2015. The foundry is operating from Amsterdam. The initial idea of BD, is to develop typefaces that are interesting to us and allow ourselves to let them mature while keeping them close, as they are inevitably extensions of ourselves. From rainy days to sunny days, these typefaces have been worked over and over to the initial point where we’re happy to release them and see someone else make a beautiful design. They all continue to be reworked until we don’t know when, to optimize technical details, and to adapt to our own developing and fleeting aesthetic preferences.
