American type designer Christian Schwartz created this sans FontFont in 2002 and added Italics in 2004.

The family has 8 weights, ranging from Regular to Super (including italics) and is ideally suited for advertising and packaging, editorial and publishing, logo, branding and creative industries as well as poster and billboards.

FF Bau provides advanced typographical support with features such as ligatures, case-sensitive forms, fractions, super- and subscript characters, and stylistic alternates.

It comes with a complete range of figure set options – oldstyle and lining figures, each in tabular and proportional widths.

In 2004, FF Bau received the ISTD award.
