Akzidenz Grotesk

It seems like a pretty narrow definition unless the teacher specified it.

Well I am rebranding Berlin and I obviously need a typeface to go with my logotype and I wanted to use something that is from that country. I would prefer to use a Sans Serif, these are all my preferences.

Berlin is my favorite city in Europe. It's alive. Are you? Live it up! :)

FF City Street Type is a series of fonts based on the street signs of Berlin.

Berlin Sans comes to mind :)

Also, any font by Luc(as) de Groot; he is Dutch, but lives in Berlin. And also any font by Erik Spiekermann.

Well, one could make an argument about Berthold faces, since they operated out of Berlin for 100 years. But they haven't been in the city for a decade and a half, and times and styles change. Berlin is a different place that it was 70 years ago, 17 years ago, or maybe even 7 years ago…

Obviously, the FontFont library comes to mind, as FSI is the largest typefoundry working in Berlin. But in addition to those good selections, there are other Berlin typeface designers and foundries, like primetype (http://www.prime-type.com) or Hannes von Döhren, who is young and has quite a lot to offer (http://hvdfonts.com/).

My favorite Berlin designer is probably Verena Gerlach (http://www.fraugerlach.de/index.php?cat=3). Note that she also has typefaces in the FontFont library, as well as at primetype. Moreover, together with primetype's Ole Schäfer, she designed the FF City Street Type family that Stephen mentions above.

Meta. Or yes, anything by the esteemed Mr Spiekermann.

Proposing Futura would probably revive the discussion how german Futura actually is.

What about one of the important typedesigners at Typoart Dresden, Karl-Heinz Lange? His Superla would be an alternative to Futura.

I am working on a technical looking typeface called ISOGLYPH.

I am not German per-se, but am an admirer of the Modern German aesthetic.
The attitude of ISOGLYPH is about humanising the somewhat geometric forms of DIN and ISONORM whilst retaining the performance (high words per line ratio) and open letterforms for clarity of type used at small sizes and for signage.It is designed so it can also be used as text.
Current font is bold in nature to be able to accomplish the above and has a thinner Titling Alternative inside the OTF.
Contact me direct if you are interested.

I like Hubert Jocham's work, so you might want to have a look at his showcase.

Poppl Laudatio, Berthold... an insinuated serif sans

How about Transit, or, perhaps Formata?
