Information
has glosseng: Architype Bayer is a geometric sans-serif typeface based upon the 1927 experimentation of Herbert Bayer. Bayer reacted to the Germanic use of capitalization for all nouns by abandoning uppercase. His new case combined characters based on the Carolingian minuscule with uppercase K rescaled to top-align on the mean line. The Bayer Architype typeface is one of a collection of several revivals of early twentieth century typographic experimentation designed by Freda Sack and David Quay of The Foundry.

Meaning

has glossnld: Architype Bayer is een geometrisch schreefloos lettertype gebaseerd op de experimenten van Herbert Bayer uit 1927. Bayer ageerde hiermee tegen het gebruik van hoofdletters in Duitse zelfstandig naamwoorden, door de hoofdletters te verbannen. Zijn lettertype bevat karakters die op zgn. Carolingische minusculen lijken, zoals een hoofdletter K verkleind tot x-hoogte.
