Details

Description:
a univers-like font inspired by the posters for the "haus der kunst" in munich. there's a "real™ font" called PUNKT™ that i discovered after re-designing this one in the linotype-library. PUNKT™ features lowercase only, numbers, punctation, some additional characters AND professional kerning! HAUS is a RE-DESIGN and differs in some glyphs from PUNKT™. I completed the set with small caps and small digits and developed text numbers. There are also some alternates and some "ligatures" to improve the metrics without kerning (use 'find and replace') enjoy!

I just love this font. Every time I see it in the gallery I get a smile on my face. It's so perfect in its pixelated form. Excellent!

Much obliged!

... if anyone needs a reason for fontstructing ...

That post i'll put in a picture frame.

Cloned! I just want to see it up close. I won't touch a pixel, I swear. Thanks. :)

This is a case study on why one should include a sample image. Completely different from the Fontstruct preview. Well crafted and highly usable, Guentersen. You've opened my eyes to this creation.

I did some improvements on the font and the sample :)

I finally got a chance to use this font in practice. :) It. will. be. printed.

I think this font is really underrated (and only 8 votes?), so I raised my rating! :)

@afrojet: I agree with you: the sample image tells the truth about this font!

@thalamic: I think we are all curious about the printing work that uses this font. What about posting a draft here?

@Em42: The thing I designed is 'time sensitive'. It needs to be revealed only at the right moment. I'll post it then and you will see what I mean. :)

Thanks for all your comments!

@thalamic
I'm curious what time it'll be when you'll post it ... hope it won't get too long ;)

I can't say when I will get to post it. Could be next week, could be three weeks from now. Some other person is in complete control of it. Let's see...

Very well done, guentersen, a definite 10!

This is that thing I designed that uses this awesome font. The other two fonts used from FontStruct are Grid Fracture by tilogo and Otis Bold by nathancox. The large name font was something I had to do directly in Illustrator.

So...what do you think?

Ha ha, everything is clear now!

Congratulations to all the ones involved (and a special mention to the designer)! :)

Hi thalamic,

It's unclear to me whether the see conference #4 used HAUS or PUNKT but I like what they did with the logo and the mouse interactivity.
