Reith does not contain many language glyphs right now, so I imagine other fonts will be sourced. But the Beeb could commission Reith variants in Arabic, Hirigana/Katakana, Korean, Kanji etc
it’s not necessary. they can still use the already made Helvetica glyphs in these languages. they shouldn’t be putting effort in where it arguably isn’t needed.

But the entire point of Reith is for a typeface that they own outright and don't need to pay royalties to use.

Making internationalised fonts is also very expensive, and for these niche uses, using a pre-made font may make more sense
It's one of those rare moments when I come into the mocks section and see a set that 'could' be used in the future, this is one of them.
It's definitely an evolution of what we've got now, and very nice. If I could make one criticism it would be that the BBC and News look slightly too disconnected to me, considering the brand is BBC News (rather than News from the BBC).
I've been working on this a little more over the weekend, I've darkened it all down a little, looking back the red of was a bit vivid, also refined some elements a bit more.
