Bauhaus

ITC Bauhaus is a type of its time – of the 1970s – and interestingly it has many contemporaries that reveal a certain family resemblance. Herb Lubalin’s ITC Ronda, released in 1970, can perhaps be listed in the same breath, even though it distinguishes itself from the group through its less quirky and instead rather elegant approach in the upper cases. At the time Lubalin was working on another typeface inspired by geometric shapes with his partner Tom Carnase: ITC Avant Garde, based on the logotype from the magazine of the same name. Designed and expanded to a family of several weights between 1970 and 1977, it has maintained great popularity up until today and can be found in countless logos.
