Baustil is a modern geometric sans-serif typeface that reinterprets Herbert Bayer’s universal typography and Bauhaus principles. Designed to be both technical and versatile, Baustil strikes a balance between precise structure and refined detailing.
Its rounded letterforms aim to achieve shapes as close to perfect circles as possible, adding a degree of flexibility that softens the otherwise rigid appearance of its narrow x-height. This makes Baustil an excellent choice for newspapers of all sizes.
The typeface’s formal rigor is enhanced by increased contrast at meridian points, ensuring clean outer edges that maintain their impact and aesthetics, even in heavier weights. Additionally, the ascender and descender heights are carefully proportioned to the large x-height, creating a well-balanced typographic harmony.
