About FF Bau Font

The FF Bau family of sans serif fonts acts like a reliable "Grotesk" workhorse. Creator Christian Schwartz drew ideas from the Grotesk fonts crafted by the Leipzig foundry Schelter & Giesecke. These popular Grotesks appeared first in the late 1800s and were sold by Schelter & Giesecke for many years.

These faces were chosen as the primary selection in their printing shop when the Bauhaus moved nearby to Dessau in the middle of the 1920s, and they were prominently used in the vast majority of their classic experiments in asymmetrical typography.

Its Super weight was added for situations where subtlety would be inappropriate. Its Regular, Medium, and Bold styles are directly taken from Schelter & Giesecke sources.

The italics were also made up, based on the original Romans, and their slight awkwardness fits it well. The family was introduced in 2002 under the moniker FF Bau as a tribute to the most illustrious users of the original Grotesks. This font is very close to the helvetica neue font.
