Neubau is a condensed geometric display typeface. The inspiration for this face came from Joost Schmidt lowercase letters developed during 1925-28 in Bauhaus Dessau. Schmidt was one of the proponents of New Typography - a movement advocating the use of only lowercase letters which were constructed strictly geometrically using only ruler and compass. Neubau family consists of three subfamilies - Neubau Sans, Neubau Grotesque and Neubau Serif, each of them in three weights - light, regular and bold.
