## 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.

## Where it works

- **Poster headlines**: Narrow capitals fit a long title into one line at a large size on event posters and flyers.
- **Video titles and thumbnails**: Letters of one height stay readable over images in title cards and thumbnail text.
- **Packaging and labels**: Compact capitals place a product name and a short claim on a small label area.
- **Captions and section headers**: Short runs of capitals above body text mark sections without taking much horizontal space.

## 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.
