Custom Typeface for Städtische Galerie Im Lenbachhaus

Exclusive grotesque for a Munich museum's post-renovation identity

After a lengthy renovation, Munich's Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus received an exclusive grotesque typeface as part of a new visual identity for the Gallery and Kunstbau München, developed by agency Herburg Weiland. The typeface was expanded and adapted from an existing grotesque to meet the museum's requirements, and is deployed across print, wayfinding, website, and eBook.
