Tausend is a typeface developed by Christoph Koeberlin and Gabriel Richter, originating from a unique lowercase 'a' sketch that inspired its design. The typeface combines structure and softness, building on the German grotesque tradition while introducing modern flexibility. It features six subfamilies, including Plakat and Stencil, each with distinct characteristics. Tausend employs variable font technology, allowing adjustments in weight, width, and style, and is designed to be visually appealing across various sizes, from small text to large billboards. It adheres to DIN 91379 character encoding standards.
Tausend is a confident and characterful type family that builds on the legacy of German grotesques while gently poking at their limits, providing precision and playfulness.
The typeface spans six subfamilies—standard, Plakat, Soft, Plakat Soft, Stencil, and Shaded—each with unique texture and tone, utilizing variable font technology.
