NB Grotesk specimen from Neubau

Neubau's most recognisable typeface, a monoline neo-grotesque built without optical correction on a strict diamond grid.

About

NB Grotesk was developed for the 'Neubauism' exhibition in Eindhoven in 2008 and remains the studio's most widely used family. Six weights follow a diamond-grid construction that deliberately skips optical correction, giving it a raw, slightly mechanical character. Rounded and monospace siblings extend it further.

Classification
