Heyse Neue is a revival of Heyse Antiqua, which was designed by german type designer Friedrich Bauer in 1926 for the german type foundry Genzsch & Heyse. The initial goal for this project was to design a text typeface and to try to respect as much as possible the original design, to make it more restorative than interpretative. I was drawn to the typeface because of its contrast and proportions and upon more research I found that it was thought to be a modern font, with really simple and quiet forms, so I tried to keep that through my digital reinterpretation.
