Tausend

Description

Tausend is not a revival but a homage. The small apertures, gentle top-heaviness, curved feet and ‘angular’ curves make Tausend proud, loud and confident. The Typeface Collection offers a comprehensive and infinitely versatile system that is at the forefront of variable font technology and includes over 1000 variable weights and glyphs to play with, including 100 extra-bold weights marked with the label “Too Black” (a treasure trove for anarchists and avant-gardists).

Six subfamilies are provided: Parallel to the “classic” Tausend with the optical size of Plakat, there are Tausend Soft and Tausend Plakat Soft. Two other versions are aimed at use in larger sizes—an elegant Stencil version and Tausend Shaded, a grotesque, whose shadows adapt visually to the weight.
