About Neuzeit Grotesk Font Family


Neuzeit Grotesk was originally designed by Wilhelm Pischner (1904-1989) and was released by the font foundry D. Stempel in 1928-1939. In 1970, the German Standards Committee advised the standard use of Neuzeit-Grotesk for official signage and traffic directional systems, and the abbreviation DIN was added to the name of the font. DIN" stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung (The German Institute for Industrial Standards). Neuzeit Grotesk was also once the standard in the German printing industry.

It has been seen as a straightforward and utilitarian typeface, with no

unusual or distracting features. Like other typefaces from the 1920s, it

reflects the philosophy of those times, "Form is Function." Today,

however, because of its familiarity and practicality, Neuzeit™ Grotesk has

acquired an almost cheerful and reassuring aura.

Try it out for signage, magazine headlines, or flyers. See also Neuzeit
