      Hi guys,

      I am looking for some fonts from the Bauhaus period. For example, “ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro”. Are there any similar fonts that come with the Adobe TypeKey package when you buy InDesign? Are there any common modern fonts that match this style? I want to explore what is in the “free” font market before purchasing some from a foundry.

      Thanks Ben

      The topic is pretty broad, even if the style of typefaces is pretty limited. To get you started, I’ll first say most sans Gothic typefaces will likely suffice. Secondly, I’ll give you a couple URLs.

      https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5/typefaces-at-the-bauhaus

      https://www.designhistory.org/Avant_Garde_pages/BauhausType.html

      As for freebies, be careful where you grab some from. ID and AI are pretty particular when it comes to fonts and there will be many that are commercial fonts that are ripped-off and are of dubious quality (largely due to the conversion applications that ripped them from the Type 1 versions).

      That said, FontSquirrel, Google Fonts, etc., will have Bauhaus style fonts and are generally of good quality.

      Mike

      Ben,
      Do take some time to read the articles that Mike has linked to. ITC Avant Garde is not an example of a Bauhaus period font at all.
