About Newspoint Font Family


The design of the Newspoint typeface is based on the tradition of the American sans serif faces of the last century. This form expression was greatly influenced by the News Gothic type which was created by Morris Fuller Benton in 1908, and has, once again, become very popular. When the development of sans serif types such as Futura and Kabel by Renner and Koch began in 1925, the design of American sans serif types receded somewhat into the background. In the 1950’s, however, they experienced a renaissance which continues to this day. Thanks to its clean design and the relatively large x-height, the Newspoint is well suited for informative texts in newspapers, magazines, and brochures. In packaging design, as well, the Newspoint can display its strength in small print. Newspoint was developed as a customer-specific variation of the News Gothic. In contrast to the News Gothic, however, the face appears to be softer and more appealing thanks to the changed interpunctions. If so desired, the alternative characters give the typeface expanded individuality and a richness of design options.

About Elsner+Flake

About Elsner+Flake

In March 1986 Veronika Elsner and Günther Flake founded their company Elsner+Flake Designstudios after ten years of freelance experience in the field of type design, typography and digitizing of fonts and logos. The general aim of the company is to create a continuously growing library of digital fonts. Today the Elsner+Flake Digital Library with a worldwide presentation and appreciation contains more than 2,500 fonts, which are available in Mac PostScript, PC PostScript and PC Truetype.

Typography with a Difference

Electronic modification is avoided, all italics are digitized from original artwork. Text and headline typefaces have matching cap heights and contain standard character layouts. Complete kerning tables guarantee a precise appearance and excellent legibility. Accents on caps and lowercase letters are individually designed. Many typefaces feature small caps and old style numbers. Most fonts are already completed with the new euro currency symbol.
