Mixtape
Superior Type · Rostislav Vaněk · 2008
A geometric sans-serif with Bauhaus roots designed for practical text use, available across 18 styles and a variable axis.
About
Originating in 2008, Mixtape draws on Bauhaus and avant-garde principles while positioning itself as a workhorse text family rather than a historical revival. Futura is acknowledged as a reference point, but the family stakes out its own ground with nine weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic, plus variable font support. Coverage extends to 302 languages across the Latin script, and OpenType features include oldstyle figures, fractions and stylistic alternates.
Classification
Mixtape is rooted in Bauhaus and avant-garde principles with Futura as a historical reference point, placing it firmly in the geometric sans-serif tradition, though the designer distinguishes it as a practical text-oriented family rather than a strict geometric revival.
