We have actually selected to call our variation of the face "Baltimore Geometric" since we like the name much better. The Central Type Foundry-Boston Type Foundry combine followed with a similar typeface in 1884, using an inscribing device to cut straight into matrices (Gray page 124). It was called merely "Geometric". As kept in mind in the write-up for HiH font Teutonia, a variety of similar typeface styles have actually appeared over the years. The simplicity of idea is welcoming and definitely fits perfectly with some of the intellectual theories that developed in the early twentieth century, like the De Stijl and Constructivist movements.

This font is useful in communicating an image that is logical and mechanical, implying a high degree of functionality.
