2004-2005. Commissioned by United Designers for Deutsche Bahn AG. Designed with Erik Spiekermann. Not available for relicensing.
While the starting point for the serif face was my interpretation of Garamond No. 3, it evolved into a decidedly more German take on this source as work progressed, getting narrower and more regular in its proportions and bringing in quite a bit of influnce from Jan Tschichold's Sabon, especially in the italics. The serifs ended up being almost slab-like, with the bracketing only subtly implied by slight swelling of the strokes at the ends.
Regular and Bold with italics, plus Regular Small Caps.
