Description
Bayer Sans is based on the typography of the Austrian-born artist Herbert Bayer. Mr. Bayer worked as a teacher and graphic designer at the Bauhaus, a revolutionary German art school, during the 1920’s. His specialty was commercial art and he had many “radical” views on typography and its interaction with society. Bayer felt that written language should be merely a graphic version of spoken language. Thus, he advocated a single alphabet without majuscules and minuscules. Bayer’s designs are simple, geometric letterforms that lend themselves to lowercase form.
This font, based on the typography of Bayer and his students at the Bauhaus Werkstatt (studio), was digitally modeled by Noah Rothschild. Bayer Sans features a complete character set including European characters, alternate letters with adjusted widths and designs and ligatures. Included are the “f” characters and a special linked double-o.
