neue Singular V

neue Singular is a contemporary Neo-grotesque sans-serif designed in three variants. The suffixes H, D, and V indicate the corresponding treatment of the stroke endings: H for horizontal, D for diagonal, and V for vertical. Despite of the stylistic range neue Singular covers it is still one coherent typographic system that shares the same amount of weights, identical character sets and vertical dimensions. Professional typographers are encouraged to use the individual variants as optical sizes — neue Singular H for headlines, neue Singular D for copy and neue Singular V for the small print.

I consider this capitalizing of nouns a good idea, because by reason of it you are almost always

able to tell a noun the minute you see it. You fall into error occasionally, because you mistake

the name of a person for the name of a thing, and waste a good deal of time trying to dig a meaning out

of it. German names almost always do mean something, and this helps to deceive the student. I

translated a passage one day, which said that “the infuriated tigress broke loose and utterly ate

up the unfortunate ﬁr forest” (Tannenwald). When I was girding up my loins to doubt this, I found

out that Tannenwald in this instance was a man’s name. Every noun has a gender, and there is no

sense or system in the distribution; so the gender of each must be learned separately and

by heart. There is no other way. To do this one has to have a memory like a memorandum-book. In

German, a young lady has no sex, while a turnip has. Think what overwrought reverence that

shows for the turnip, and what callous disrespect for the girl. To continue with the German

genders: a tree is male, its buds are female, its leaves are neuter; horses are sexless, dogs are

male, cats are female–tomcats included, of course; a person’s mouth, neck, bosom, elbows,

ﬁngers, nails, feet, and body are of the male sex, and his head is male or neuter according to the

word selected to signify it, and not according to the sex of the individual who wears it – for in

Germany all the women wear either male heads or sexless ones; a person’s nose, lips,

shoulders, breast, hands, and toes are of the female sex; and his hair, ears, eyes, chin, legs,

knees, heart, and conscience haven’t any sex at all. The inventor of the language

probably got what he knew about a conscience from hearsay. Now, by the above dissection,

the reader will see that in Germany a man may think he is a man, but when he comes to look
