This is the README for biolinum-type1, version 5.3.0 (2012-10-02).

This package provides LaTeX and pdfLaTeX support for the Linux Biolinum
family of sans serif fonts. It is intended (with libertine-type1) to
replace the libertine-legacy package which the original developer
abandoned and which has several issues that now cannot be addressed.
XeLaTex and LuaLaTeX users should refer to the libertineotf package.

To install on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the file
/install/fonts/biolinum-type1.tds.zip at the root of an appropriate
texmf tree, likely a personal or local tree. If necessary, update
the file-name database (e.g., texhash). Update the font-map files by
enabling the Map file biolinum-type1.map.

To use, add 

\usepackage{biolinum-type1} 

to the preamble of your document. Options include:

oldstyle,osf    old-style figures
lining,nf       lining figures

proportional    varying-width figures
tabular         fixed-width figures

Defaults are oldstyle and proportional.

Available shapes in medium weight include:

it              italic 
sc              small caps
scit            italic small caps 
sw              swash
nw              upright swash (extra ligatures)

Only upright and small caps are available in bold.
