Thesis (typeface)

The thesis is an integrated family, consisting of four families consisting essentially of: TheSans, TheSerif, TheMix and later added TheAntiqua. The original briefs were developed in 1994 by the Dutchman Lucas de Groot. Since then, he has enriched periodically to numerous font variations. Today, the thesis collection is the most extensive family with over 500 different styles. Most typefaces of this family with the exception of small-caps variants put old style figures a normal keyboard layout but there are also standard numbers available.

TheSans

TheSans is a linear sans. She's typeface various known brands, including the Yellow Pages, the supermarket chain Plus, the drugstore DM, the German Society for Sea Rescue ( GMRS ) or the University of Hamburg - the latter in a separate variant. The University of Bonn, the University of Konstanz ( HTWG ) and the North Western Railway TheSans use in their logo as well as the magazine Gamestar in a slightly modified form.

The SPD uses the thesis for all publications and in election campaigns, in particular the section TheSans Black. Except for the parliamentary group of the SPD, which relies on the FF Sanuk by Xavier Dupré since 2007. There's even a specially conceived for the SPD version of the font, the SPD 2002 TheSans.

TheSerif

TheSerif is a slab serif or slab serif.

TheMix

TheMix is a Semiserif font, so the name refers to the mixture of serifenbetonter and sans serif font. It is the typeface of the Europa Park, the University of Mannheim and is used in the logo of the Berlin Senate.

TheAntiquaB

TheAntiquaB is a classical Antiqua, which is characterized by a large x-height and the lack of fragile forms. It is particularly suitable for newsprint and also makes the screen a good figure. It is, among other things by the ARD - used as typeface - along with the other thesis variants. In addition to the TheAntiquaB still exist adjustments as the TheAntiquaSun ( Sun Microsystems) and TheAntiquaE / QuaText (for the Berlin daily taz).
