- 49 static styles in four families: Condensed, Normal, Extended and Mono.
- Seven weights, from Light to Black (300 to 900).
- Italics for Condensed, Normal and Extended: 21 italic styles.
- Three variable fonts:
- BRND ProType Variable: weight from 300 to 900 and width from 88.1 to 114.5 (Condensed to Extended), with 21 named instances.
- BRND ProType Variable Italic: weight from 300 to 900, with 7 named instances.
- BRND ProType Mono Variable: weight from 300 to 900, with 7 named instances.
- 566 characters per style (561 in Mono): the Latin alphabet with its accented letters, punctuation, figures, currencies, fractions, arrows, geometric shapes and symbols.
- OpenType features: kerning, ligatures (ff fi fl ffi ffl), automatic fractions, numerators and denominators, case-sensitive forms and combining accents.
- Drawn with a low node count, so it also works well in physical applications, from plotter cutting to embroidery.
Two screen typefaces built with the same code, each with its own name, in Regular:
- BRND ProDigit: an LCD display face with upper and lowercase, 105 characters.
- BRND ProLed: a 5 × 7 dot matrix with square dots, 107 characters.
Both cover the Spanish alphabet, and the gaps inside each letter are sized to stay open in print.
