Neutro Grotesk is a condensed, sans serif typeface inspired by the Merz logotype of the 1920s. The logotype, created by Russian artist El Lissitzky for German Dadaist Kurt Schwitters, features narrow lettering, a uniform weight, and tight spacing. What started as a homage to this iconic logotype, Neutro Grotesk has evolved into a style of it’s own, becoming a mix of modernist functionality, post-modern aesthetic, and a touch of my own personal flair. This typeface features 96 characters, covering upper-case, lower-case, number, punctuation, and symbol characters; this typeface is also designed as a display-face, and should be used at a 24 point font size or greater for maximum legibility.
