Backstein was designed by Christian Thalmann and published by Catharsis Fonts. Backstein includes 32 styles and household bundle alternatives. p > Backstein is an abstract sans built to last. Its strong horizontal foundation, pragmatic building, and rock-solid texture make it a powerful choice for display screen and logotype applications, while its initial lettershapes and subtle eccentricities keep legibility even at smaller sizes. It comes fully equipped with pan-european language support, ligatures, and stylistic alternates.

Backstein is now readily available in a spectrum of 8 weights, from heavenly Hairline to bedrock Bold. While each weight is available separately, we recommend the Backstein Basics (Light, Routine, Strong) or Backstein Family (all 8 weights) value packs.

Backstein is an original style by Catharsis Fonts (Christian Thalmann) that took its motivation from the damaged antiqua lettering in Berlin's old subway stations. Its name means "baked brick" in German, summarizing the intent behind the style: A strong, no-nonsense typeface you can construct on. This typeface is dedicated to Simone.
