Baer is a deco inspired display typeface that incorporates two
notable typefaces. Its thin strokes combined with simple geomet-
ric shapes makes it enhanced for optimum legibility. Specific
rules were set in place to unif y forms in order to create a stylized
and cohesive typeface. The most essential and noticeable
feature is an enlarged x-height. Although it is unified throughout,
there are still identifiable characteristics that distinguish its retro
qualities and contemporary quirks. These aspects contribute to
the purpose of Baer as a display face. Combined with other body
typefaces, Baer is an important ass et to any designer.

Baer is a combination of a couple typefaces. The deco inspiration
came from Bauhaus. The simple geometric forms contain smooth
curves, and specific features that give Bauhaus a distinctive look.
The contemporary inspiration that also influenced the us age of
thin strokes came from Neutra Di splay Light. This letters have tall
x-heights and low crossbars. Certain aspects of these typefaces
were melded together to create the hybrid Baer.
