Universal Bayer

Hey everyone /

looking for a font designed by Herbert Bayer in 1925.
There are images of it everywhere in the internet,
but i can’t find the source. No luck with fontshop,
linotype or myfonts.

Anyone ?

Thanks,
tt.

I don’t think there’s an exact digitalisation of your specimen.
But:

A variation of it: Architype Bayer

Hi Tobias,
btw, Bayer did design a
typeface, he didn’t make a font.

Yet another version of Bayer’s Universal alphabet is Bob Newman’s Horatio. Linotype has it here http://is.gd/52BCt
