Bernhard Modern font was designed in 1937 by Lucian Bernhard, an artist who lived and worked in both Germany and the USA. Like many typefaces of this time, Bernhard Modern has a low x-height and generous ascenders. It also displays a marked broad tipped pen stroke. Characteristic is the lowercase g with its upward-reaching ear, whose stroke contrast emphasizes the diagonal. Bernhard Modern font with its mannered elegance is best for short to middle length texts and headlines, wherever a subtle touch of the historical is desired.
