Project Overview:

Inspired by Dieter Rams’ use of Akzidenz-Grotesk on Braun products, Lineal Grotesk integrates the warmth of the products’ characteristics into the typeface itself. The hyper-rational sans serif was designed to function beautifully for body and display texts. (Lineal Grotesk offers ten styles and is planned for release in 2024.)
