neue Unikat Stencil

neue Unikat Stencil is based on neue Unikat — an interpretation of a typeface used by the Singapore Land Transit Authority for its directional signage. The typeface design is based on a rigid grid with little to no room for optical compensations or any kind of harmonisation whatsoever. This approach can be seen as epitomic to an engineer’s way of designing which offers paradoxically unorthodox solutions in a seemingly orthodox design grid. neue Unikat comes in five weights ranging from Thin to Bold. For the Italics the designer has the choice between a traditional slant to the right or an unconventional slant to the left. All weights and styles are equipped with arrows matching the individual weight’s stroke thickness.

neue Unikat Stencil is a uniwidth design which means that the individual characters are occupying the same amount of space across all weights and styles. This is pretty handy if one wants to avoid unintentional line breaks while switching weights.

It seems to me that the Germans could do worse than import it into their language to describe particularly

tremendous explosions with. The German word for hell – Hölle – sounds more like helly than anything else;

therefore, how necessarily chipper, frivolous, and unimpressive it is. If a man were told in German to go there, could he

really rise to the dignity of feeling insulted? Having pointed out, in detail, the several vices of this language, I now

come to the brief and pleasant task of pointing out its virtues. The capitalizing of the nouns I have already mentioned.

But far before this virtue stands another – that of spelling a word according to the sound of it. After one short lesson in

the alphabet, the student can tell how any German word is pronounced without having to ask; whereas in our language if

a student should inquire of us, “What does b, o, w, spell?” we should be obliged to reply, “Nobody can tell what it spells

when you set it off by itself; you can only tell by referring to the context and ﬁnding out what it signiﬁes – whether it

is a thing to shoot arrows with, or a nod of one’s head, or the forward end of a boat.” There are some German words

which are singularly and powerfully effective. For instance, those which describe lowly, peaceful, and

affectionate home life; those which deal with love, in any and all forms, from mere kindly feeling and honest good will

toward the passing stranger, clear up to courtship; those which deal with outdoor Nature, in its softest and loveliest

aspecs – with meadows and forests, and birds and ﬂowers, the fragrance and sunshine of summer, and the moonlight

of peaceful winter nights; in a word, those which deal with any and all forms of rest, repose, and peace; …
