SB Viadukt
Studio Sascha Bente · Sascha Bente
sans-serifgrotesque with Art Nouveau ornament
A seven-weight grotesque that lets Art Nouveau flourishes work their way into an otherwise rational sans skeleton.
About
Viadukt is not a revival of any single historical face. It takes the plain logic of a classic grotesque and lets ornamental, Art Nouveau-adjacent gestures creep into the details, most visibly in the tension of its lowercase a. A stylistic set converts the diagonals into curved strokes, and the seven weights cover both text and display use.
Classification
A classic grotesque skeleton with Art Nouveau flourishes worked into the details, described by the designer as bridging expressive ornament and modernist clarity.
