From the foundry
A geometric sans serif inspired by Stuttgart's Weissenhof Estate (built 1927). The typeface features monolinear strokes and a good amount of contrast between stroke thickness. Notable characteristics include rounded-off stroke endings and letterforms derived from architectural elements, with the straight-sided 'o' serving as a pattern for related glyphs.
