Introducing Baksteen, a modular typeface inspired by the lettering on the façade of a former public primary school at Driftstraat 77 in Leiden. The building was designed by architect J. Neysingh and inaugurated in 1927. Despite its age, the lettering has a surprisingly contemporary appearance, with forms that recall the visual language of 1970s electronics and technical graphics. https://www.brutaltypes.com/fonts/baksteen
