Neutra use examples

So I need some great inspiration. Uses of neutra text and display.

So neutra lovers help.

Are you asking for samples of how it has been used, or for what it might be used for?

Hi Sandro

Yes, I too am proud to be a Neutraphile. You can find the original source right here.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could buy the typeface there too?

The good people at House Industries recently sent me their current lovely poster which of course, has samples of Neutraface. I assume you know all about their site.

Taschen have a lovely and enormous hardback book – a monograph about Neutra himself and I think the lettering features in the book, but I'm not sure. There is also the paperback.

And finally you could try looking at House & Garden magazine because I think Neutraface got used for their big redesign – again I don't know who did this work or how recently, but the type sure looks nice.

I see Neutraface quite a bit on HGTV.

thanks. I'll try to get that taschen book.

p.s i was interested in how the neutra was used and what it might be used.

Thanks everyone.

I believe Amtrak/Acela have used it in some of their ad campaigns but I can't find it on their site or in their store. I could be wrong. I think Neutra is very appropriate for vintage travel related design and used it myself in a book about Luxury Ocean Liners.

Amtrak is using a font thats quite similar to Neutra.

It is the Schwab Poster by the Designer Michael Schwab. I dont know if he sells this font. I think he is the only one who has got the rights for this font!? When you take a look at his portfolio you will see that he uses this font for almost everything. But i like his style a lot.

Schwab handletters his stuff, I think.

Bruce is right.

But I found this…

…in Graphis Digital Fonts 1

!??!

Wow, never seen that. Certainly his posters for the San Francisco area parks are hand lettered.

I dont know the posters!? Do you have a link where I can see them!?

Thank you Tiffany.

: )

I know this link. But which of the posters are for the San Fransisco Area Park Stephen talked about!?

3rd to last row: Muir Woods, The Presidio, Alcatraz, Olema Valley, Cliff House

You can buy Schwab's posters for the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy here.

The posters won an AIGA award. And now I must correct myself. It seems he did use a digital version of his lettering on some of these. Cheater!

Cheater! Lol!!! : )
I still like his work! Sorry that I opened your eyes! : ))

lots of stuff out there. This is a great poster for a good horror flick using Neutra. It has won some industry awards as well. (and also offhand, it also uses Pagan Caps, another kickin' typeface).
