Berlin Font Family

Berlin Sans Serif Font is a group of display fonts inspired by the classic geometric typefaces from early last century. It capabilities (so far) 4 versions, every single 1 in 3 weights: standard, bold & X-bold.

Earlier this year Mark and I started working on Mr Red’s re-designs. Back then we thought about creating a font system to be used on the sayings and promo material.

I am still far from being a type designer, and the process was taking too much time. We ended up deciding for the handmade designs and the font was put on hold.

Nonetheless, I kept on working on it in my spare time and managed to finish a few versions: Berlin, Berlina, Slaberlin and Überlin, all in 3 weights (Common, Bold and X-Bold, plus Berlin’s Common Italics).

They have been named after a song from R.E.M.’s latest album, which I was listening to over and over while working on the first versions of the main characters.
