Kreuz Condensed

Specimen

BRUTALIST ARCHITECTURE
The term originates from the French word for “raw”, as le Corbusier described his choice of material béton brut, meaning raw concrete in French.
Examples are typically massive in character, fortress-like, with a predominance of exposed concrete construction, or in the case of the “brick brutalists”.

About this font

Angular and bulky, Kreuz is undeniably a display typeface of industrial roots.
The overlaps between faceted and smooth shapes convey a sense of “fun machinery”, while calling for intricate settings and adventurous rotations. In Kreuz, the visual metaphor of nuts and bolts that is playful in short paragraphs, reveals its full potential when typeset in large sizes.
Kreuz is as straightforward as it gets. It won’t shy away and will even get intimidating if pushed far enough.
