GD Bauer
GD Bauer is a display serif rooted in a 19th century European typeface tradition, with pointed serifs and harmonized proportions. The stroke contrast is even, which keeps it feeling contemporary despite the historical references. Ink traps add depth at display sizes. Sharp where it counts, rounded where it breathes. Assured and elegant, but with real character.
Few typefaces with this much personality work at body size. GD Bauer does, with a text version built to carry its character all the way down.
Named after John Bauer (1882–1918), the Swedish illustrator whose forests, trolls and silent princesses still carry the charge of something ancient and half-seen. A fitting name for a typeface built on the same conviction: that craft and feeling are never opposites.
