About Bebas Neue

Bebas Neue is a display typeface made of tall, narrow capital letters. There is no separate lowercase: typing small letters gives the same capitals, so every line sets as a compact block of even height. Strokes keep a uniform thickness and the curves are tight, which lets a long headline fit into a narrow column. The family consists of one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 497 glyphs include numerals, punctuation and accented capitals for the Latin and Latin Extended character sets, enough for languages such as French, German, Polish and Turkish. Ryoichi Tsunekawa based Bebas Neue on the earlier Bebas typeface, and the family was added to Google Fonts in 2019. The font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Things to know

Capitals only

Lowercase input is drawn as capitals, so Bebas Neue cannot set mixed-case text.

One style, no italic

The family has a single Regular style. Emphasis has to come from size or colour rather than from a bolder or italic cut.

Latin scripts only

The character sets are Latin and Latin Extended. Cyrillic and Greek are not included.
