She's cleverly named this typeface [Bauchstaben](https://www.behance.net/gallery/BAUCHSTABEN-typeface-design/9802423), a name inspired by the German word combination of Bau (meaning building and construction) and buchsteben (meaning alphabet and letter). This display typeface is fun with an emphasis on structure, function and build. We love how she limits the colour palette to black, white, red and yellow, and also the subtle references to hand tools, scaffolding and ladders. [Like much of the work influenced by Bauhaus](http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/02/bauhaus-ninety-years-of-inspiration/), her typography is also very geometric and industrial. Nana is Japanese, currently living in Brooklyn; she describes herself as "obsessed with typography". You can [follow her on Twitter](https://twitter.com/NanaNozaki) to see what she's got on next. ![Typo Tuesday: Bauhaus Typeface](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/BAUCHSTABEN-01.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: Bauhaus Typeface](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/BAUCHSTABEN-03.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: Bauhaus Typeface](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/BAUCHSTABEN-04.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: Bauhaus Typeface](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/BAUCHSTABEN-05.jpg) ## If you have a project in mind or would like to work with us, send us a message. ## [![Typo Tuesday: Animated Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/animography_001.gif?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=animography_001.gif) Typo Tuesday: Animated Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-animated-typography) [Animation](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/animation) · [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) ## [![Typo Tuesday: Handy Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Sign-Language-02.gif?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=Sign-Language-02.gif) Typo Tuesday: Handy Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-handy-typography) [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) ## [![Typo Tuesday: Expressions of the Alphabet](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/GLO_001.gif?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=GLO_001.gif) Typo Tuesday: Expressions of the Alphabet](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-expressions-of-the-alphabet) [Inspiration](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/inspiration) Have an idea in mind?
