Basel Neue Italic Bold Font by Isaco Type

About:
Basel Neue is the complete redesign of BaselSans ITD font, the first typeface of Isaco Type foundry, launched in 2009. As with the predecessor version, Basel Neue is a legible and discrete typeface, a sans serif with thickness variation and humanistic touch. The family consists of 8 styles, 4 weights plus their respective italic versions. Download the "OT Features" pdf to know and take advantage of all font features as best as possible!
- Basel Neue has ligatures strategically chosen. Herbert S. Zim, in the book "Codes and secret writing", elected the most common letter pairs of English, that in the Basel Neue became optional ligatures.
- Basel Neue contains lots of useful glyphs (that most fonts ignore!) and features. All versions have 12 recycling symbols, 7 to different types of plastic, and over 30 currency symbols.
- It's rigorously tested. Basel Sans is available in OpenType PS e TT flavors and each version undergoes a battery of tests, with a systematic review of nodes, curves, spacing and internal data. This eliminates the possibility of errors in the font.
