GT Walsheim
16 Styles Noël Leu
In its heart GT Walsheim is a geometric sans serif, but it has a certain roughness in its design. While the capitals on their own are great for titles, don’t understimate Walsheim in text size. With its eight weights from Ultra Light to Ultra Bold it looks great in every situation. Additionally, for each weight there’s an oblique style.

Baumberger was one of the great early Swiss poster designers. Baumberger stated that he never really had an education in typography. He invented his own typefaces as he needed them while designing his posters. At first the type used on the posters seem to be random experiments, but once you take a closer look, you realize that they share certain design aspects which occur throughout most of his work. Especially the peculiar uppercase G with its very unique design is interesting. Many posters by Otto Baumberger show type with the same G and very similar overall characteristics.
So when Noël Leu started designing the typeface, he took the Walsheim poster as his main inspiration – left the original, right his lithography print interpretation. Now in its final state the Walsheim family contains eight weights accompanyied by an Oblique style for every weight.
