- Display ThinTo sum up: the foundation of a flourishing modern school of architecture depends on the successful solution of a series of closely connected problems.
- Display Thin ObliqueRecognized for his invention of bicycle-handlebar-inspired tubular steel furniture, Breuer lived off his design fees at a time in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the architectural commissions he was looking for were few and far between.
- Display LightThey tested materials for qualities such as color, texture, structure, resistance to wear, flexibility, light refraction and sound absorption.
- Display Light ObliqueThis meant evolving goods specifically designed for mass-production. Our object was to eliminate every drawback of the machine without sacrificing any one of its real advantages.

- Display HeavyIn 1919, I lived in Vienna, lost among the depressed conformists of the postwar period. Coming from a farm in the agricultural center of Hungary, I was less intrigued with the baroque pompousness of the Austrian capital than with the highly developed technology of industrial Germany.
- Display Heavy ObliqueEven I was gripped by a kind of timidity bordering on fear when it came to leaving “the world of will and idea”, in which I had lived and worked and in the reality of which I had believed.
- Display BlackThey tested materials for qualities such as color, texture, structure, resistance to wear, flexibility, light refraction and sound absorption.
- Display Black ObliqueThe ethical necessity of the New Architecture can no longer be called in doubt. And the proof of this—if proof were still needed—is that in all countries Youth has been fired with its inspiration.

Typeface information
GT Era reimagines the warmth and idiosyncrasies of early grotesk typefaces for our own era. These pre-modernist tools were being pushed to their extremes in the radical designs of the modernist movements—like Bauhaus and De Stijl—of the period. The typeface shuns neutrality and embraces friction, championing recognition over uniformity and flavor over conformity.
