Silas Dilworth’s Breuer Text is part geometric, part grotesque — a clean, contemporary sans with relaxed curves and slightly condensed proportions suitable for moderate lengths of body copy. The italics are optically adjusted obliques with a selection of augmented lowercase glyphs for a warmer read. The typeface offers the distinct aura of technical precision in a personable tone, ideal for instructional copy or safety warnings. Its basic structure and conservative letterforms maintain a level voice without turning robotic or sterile.

Pair with the two-font Breuer Headline family for a simple and complete editorial type system. The heavy, compact Headline face differs from the Text in the inside curvature of the lowercase arms and a simplified Oblique as opposed to the Text Italics.

Every style of Breuer has small caps and figures for text, tables, and headlines. They also all include a set of figures at small caps height, a very useful feature that is all too uncommon.
