neue Vektor A

neue Vektor is subject to the idea of “one destination, three routes: A, B and CNC”: satisfying one particular design demand with identical characteristics such as character set, number of styles, OpenType functionalities and metrics, but doing it so in three stylistically different ways.

These settings can be of aesthetical, structural or optical nature.

neue Vektor A is an almost monolinear no-frills Neo-grotesque design: closed counters, horizontal stroke endings, symmetrical arcs and organically connected joints that establish the vibrant figure-ground relationship we expect from such a design.

speaks of an Englishman as the Engländer; to change the sex, he adds in, and that

stands for Englishwoman – Engländerin. That seems descriptive enough, but still it

is not exact enough for a German; so he precedes the word with that article which

indicates that the creature to follow is feminine, and writes it down thus. – “die

Engländerin,” – which means “the she-Englishwoman.” I consider that that person is

over-described. Well, after the student has learned the sex of a great number of nouns, he is

still in a difﬁculty, because he ﬁnds it impossible to persuade his tongue to refer to things as

“he” and “she,” and “him” and “her,” which it has been always accustomed to refer to as “it.”

When he even frames a German sentence in his mind, with the hims and hers in the right …
