Brix Sans
Brix Geometric2 Ds
Brix Sans stands for perfection, accuracy and a contemporary look.

The concept was to create a pure, distinctive and timeless typeface for the digital age: a typographic tool “from designers for designers” with a maximum of clarity, precision, legibility and unique — some might say German — character. A simple, essential and fluid visual language at first glance, Brix Sans reveals countless subtle, handcrafted and vivid details that its designers call “heart and soul“.


The Brix Sans family consists of 6 weights plus matching italics. With a carefully developed typographic color in reading sizes on and off screen, it is fit for highly-professional typographic use in all fields of visual communication. It is ideally suited for wayfinding and signage, branding, magazines, packaging and advertising. Having ran through a time consuming manual hinting process, Brix Sans performs greatly and flawlessly on digital devices — a unique balance between highest precision and a human touch.

We loved the idea of “less is more”, yet creating something that comes from the heart.
Brix Sans
The Story of…

Our goal was to create a simple, fluid and highly-precise overall look and feel. We felt inspired by modern German design — pure, reduced, thoughtful, distinctive. Step one was to draw constructed letter forms based on a mathematical grid. These basic, essential shapes formed the starting point of Brix Sans. We then applied typographical rules and viewing habits to the letters to lend them a harmonic rhythm and fluent legibility. A real typeface was born.

Our third step was the fun part: We refined, crafted and redrew every single letter again — carefully adding subtle details, features and surprises — to create a warm, humanistic und unique feeling. The result is a timeless typeface that brings pureness, precision and soul together.

Character Set Overview

With 992 glyphs in each font, Brix Sans is equipped for complex, professional typography. It contains 304 diacritcs, 8 sets of numerals which can be selected through the OpenType feature window, arrows in 8 directions, mathematical symbols, fractions, 7 different currency symbols. Language support: Latin Extended, Greek and Cyrillic.

Weights

The Brix Sans Family consists of 6 weights – ranging from ExtraLight to Black. Each weight has an Italic counterpart. There is a linear increase of the weights. Brix Sans can be perfectly combined with the 24 fonts of Brix Slab.

Details make the difference. Some insights of the Brix Sans characteristics.

OpenType Features – or what else you can do with it, besides designing your next logo.

A font of today’s needs has to include more than just the alphabet and some punctuation. Besides a big number of accented letters, making sure that the typeface has a good language support, a font should include several features for excellent typographic work joining forces with the layout applications of the time and of course the user. Here is a selection of what this font family has to offer under the hood.

New Graphic Design

Small Caps

Small Caps are uppercase characters set at the same height and weight as the lowercase characters or text figures. They are used in text emphasize or typographically differentiate passages beside the italics. Professional designed Small Caps are not simply scaled-down versions of the capital letters – they are designed to work with the lowercase letters and have the same stroke weight.

Alternates

Besides the standard letters a font sometimes contains several versions of a letter called alternates. You can exchange the alternate with the standard letter by selecting it through the Opentype feature panel and every letter of the stylistic set will be exchanged. Often this results in a totally different optical appearance of the typeface.

Oldstyle Figures

When lining figures are used in a reading text they often produce a visual stretch in the text and disturb the grey value. It has the same effect if you use ALL CAPS in a text. One solution could be to make the numbers slightly smaller and give them some more space in-between. The other, more elegant way is to use the old style figures, they have ascenders and descenders like the lower case letters and will fit seamlessly in the text. In Brix Sans there are also tabular oldstyle figures available.

3.547,21

Tabular Figures

In addition to the standard lining figures, the fonts contain a set of tabular figures. This means that all numbers have the same width, which is useful for setting up invoices, tables or every other task where the figures should have a structured appearance among themselves.

Fractions

If fractions are needed anywhere an OpenType code makes sure that if you type any numbers combined with a slash between a fraction will automatically be substituted.

Subscript

A subscript is a character that is set slightly below the normal line of type. They are used in formulas, mathematical expressions, and specifications of chemical compounds and isotopes, but can have many other uses as well. These characters are not simply ordinary characters reduced in size – to keep them visually consistent with the rest of the font, they are slightly heavier than a reduced-size character would be.

Superscript

A superscript is a character that is set slightly above the line of type. It has the same weight and size like a subscript character. They are also used in formulas, mathematical expressions and text references, but can have many other uses as well.

Language Support

Brix Sans has an extended character set that supports more than a hundred languages. Part of the language coverage is the support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic script.


In addition to Brix Sans we created Brix Slab which makes Brix a super family.
A Type System

The idea behind Brix was to create a super family consisting of a clean and precise sans family which is combinable with a more extroverted slab serif family. The two genres follow different rules so the design is not simply cut off slab serifs or glue slabs to a sans. Each family is drawn from scratch following the rules of its genre. So each family work on its own and doesn't need its related counterpart – but they are also made to work together to unfold a unique strength. → Check out Brix Slab.

Brix Slab vs. Brix Sans

Here is an example how different the families work together. You can see that they have the same dimentions, x-height and stem width but with their individual details and letterforms they have a different feeling. → Check out Brix Slab.
