TWK Lausanne
WELTKERN · Nizar Kazan
A Swiss grotesque by Nizar Kazan spanning twenty weights from hairline to ultra-heavy, with a restrained character that has made it a fixture in fashion and cultural publishing.
About
Designed by Swiss designer Nizar Kazan for WELTKERN, TWK Lausanne runs an unusually fine-grained weight scale from 50 to 1000, each with a matching italic, giving designers granular control across a single family. Its neutrality and precision have attracted an array of high-profile clients spanning fashion houses such as Bottega Veneta and Loewe, institutions like the Museum of Modern Arts, and technology brands including Apple TV+. The name refers to the Swiss city of Lausanne, though the foundry cheekily note it is more visible in New York than in its namesake.
Classification
A Swiss grotesque with a clean, neutral character typical of the Geneva/Lausanne tradition, designed to function across an exceptionally wide weight range from 50 to 1000.
