dT Jakob started as a revival by Gustavo Soares for Paul van der Laan's class at the Type and Media Masters, in The Hague, NL-- back in 2007. There are many outstanding geometric sans typefaces readily available, but we did wish to make our contribution and have a fine geometric face to offer.
dT Jakob was born out of Erbar, by Jakob Erbar, among the extremely first geometric sans, released in metal around 1926. Our goal was to make a versatile typeface, that handles display and text typography magnificently. To accomplish that we created a total variety of weights, matching italics and great deals of OpenType Features.
We hope you enjoy it!
