From the foundry
Originally designed as the corporate typeface for Munich Re Group by Susana Carvalho and Kai Bernau of Atelier Carvalho Bernau in collaboration with Christian Schwartz, Atlas Grotesk takes its stylistic cues from 1950s European sans serifs, particularly Dick Dooijes's Mercator released by the Amsterdam Type Foundry in 1957. While European in aesthetic, its vertical proportions and contrast have more in common with American gothics like Trade Gothic or Franklin Gothic.
