ITC Bauhaus was designed by Edward Benguiat and Victor Caruso in 1975. They based it on a prototype face drawn by Herbert Bayer in 1925 while he was teaching at the Bauhaus School in Dessau, Germany. ITC Bauhaus has simple geometric shapes and monotone stroke weights. The rounded, open forms and quirky geometric gyrations of ITC Bauhaus will make contemporary graphic designs look both fun and stylish. Similar geometric faces are Blippo, Plaza, Pump, or more geometric in form are Avant Garde, Avenir, Erbar, Neuzeit Grotesk, and Kabel.

Herbert Bayer of Austria
Born: Haag, 1900
Died: Montecito, California, USA, 1985
Hugely influential Austrian artist, designer, theoretician and teacher. He joined the Bauhaus in Weimar as a student in 1921. As a teacher he was primarily responsible for the geometric, asymmetric style we now know as Bauhaus’. Bayer drew the Universal Alphabet that so influenced Paul Renner, among others. He fled Nazi Germany in 1938, where it had become impossible to continue work (the Bauhaus had been forced to shut down in 1933), moving to New York. He lived in the US until his death in 1985.
