Weissenhof Grotesk specimen from Indian Type Foundry

A constructed geometric sans from two Stuttgart-based designers, drawing formal inspiration from the Weissenhof Estate's modernist architecture in four weights with matching italics.

About

The straight-sided 'o' acts as a structural module from which many other letterforms are derived, giving the family a consistent architectural logic. Strokes are monolinear with rounded terminals, and letter proportions tend towards equalisation without becoming monospaced. Four weights – Light, Regular, Medium and Bold – each carry an italic, making 8 styles in total.

Classification

A constructed geometric sans with monolinear strokes, straight-sided 'o' used as a modular template for other letters, and rounded stroke endings – placing it firmly in the geometric sans tradition with architectural influences.
