Typefaces: Neue Plak™

Originally designed in 1928, Plak is something of a lost gem in the type world. Despite being drawn by Futura creator Paul Renner, it never achieved the same popularity and spent decades lacking a much-needed digital revival. Monotype designers Linda Hintz and Toshi Omagari took the original three weights and, after extensive research into the original wood type, extended them into the vast Neue Plak™ family comprised of 60 styles.

The design brings together a defiant outer appearance that’s counteracted by more playful details found in the lowercase r and the large dots of the lowercase i. Other distinctive details include open or strikethrough counters, and a set of hairline widths that distill Renner’s original design to its bones.
