About Baumans

Baumans is a geometric display typeface for headlines whose shapes refer to Bauhaus-era lettering. Strokes are of one thickness and the proportions are balanced, as the official description puts it, but several letters are built unconventionally. In the specimen the capital A is an arch with a crossbar and no apex, N takes the same arched form like an enlarged lowercase n, B is drawn in one sweep without a full left stem, and Z is curved. M, V and W keep sharp corners by contrast. Lowercase letters are made of circles and straight stems, with a single-storey a. The makers suggest medium to large sizes and say the outlines were optimised for screens. The family is one Regular style with 218 glyphs for Western European languages. Henadij Zarechnjuk designed it for Cyreal, under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Baumans works

Design, architecture and exhibition titles

Arched A and N and circle-based lowercase recall constructed lettering of the 1920s.

Wordmarks

Unconventional capitals such as the one-sweep B make a short name distinctive in a single weight.

Web headlines

The makers optimised the face for screens and recommend it from medium sizes upward.

Music and event graphics

Even stroke thickness reproduces well in one colour on flyers, wristbands and stage screens.

Things to know

One style

Baumans has a single Regular style, with no bold or italic.

Arched A and N

Words in capitals look unfamiliar because A and N have rounded tops; test names and acronyms first.

Western Latin coverage

The 218 glyphs cover the basic Latin subset. Turkish and Central European letters are missing, and French lacks the rare capital Ÿ.
