Teutonia's design was popular during both the Art Nouveau and the Constructivist ages, where similar letterforms could be seen as far as the Soviet Union. Although it slipped under the radar during the 1930s and 40s, this design feels very modern today. Mountain's underlying geometric feeling is reminiscent of pixels and grids, matching it for application with music and art, as well as history. Yet this typeface is not as fixed as it seems at very first glance; spirited diagonals-like those seen on the capitals D, L, P, and W-enliven the otherwise stern horizontal and vertical motion.
Teutonia was a simple upper and lowercase display screen type. Mountain includes upon these by adding little caps and obliqued italic companions, rounding out this typographic toolkit.
