Background
Commissioned by United Designers for Deutsche Bahn AG. Not available for relicensing.
“Between 2003 and 2006 (possibly starting even earlier), United Designers undertook a major rebranding of Deutsche Bahn (DB), one of Europe’s largest companies. Print communication needed to be better coordinated, sub-brands needed to be better integrated, and a strategy for the future had to be mapped out, and a new type family was going to be a cornerstone of this.”
“Designed for the DB’s internal newspaper, the News version is an odd hybrid: it’s a true slab serif, but retains many of the oldstyle details and proportions from the serif face.”
