ES Klarheit Grotesk Paneuro

About
Developed over five years, the typeface positions itself between two historical models: the geometric rigour of the Bauhaus and the typographic conventions of Swiss modernism in the 1960s. Thirteen stylistic sets cover alternates for forms including an angular-cut G, schoolbook characters, kurrent K and sweeping y, allowing the same weight to read as restrained or expressive depending on the combination selected. Language coverage is extensive, spanning Vietnamese and Pinyin alongside Cyrillic scripts for Belarusian, Ukrainian, Kazakh and Mongolian among others, and full Greek.
Classification
The typeface blends Bauhaus geometric construction with 1960s Swiss modernist conventions, placing it squarely in the geometric grotesque tradition with a distinctly pan-European character.
