Neutraface Text has a larger x-height than its display counterpart and increased stroke contrast. Īlthough Neutraface was conceived as a display and headline typeface, Neutraface Text was created to complement Neutraface Display. The lowercase was influenced by Avenir, Futura, Nobel and Tempo. Since there were limited samples of Neutra's signage and no lowercase, much of the design was Schwartz's invention. The Neutraface alphabet was developed through consultation with Neutra's son and former partner, Dion Neutra, and with reference to the signs on the buildings designed by Neutra. It was the result of a project started by Schwartz to design "the most typographically complete geometric sans serif family ever", based on Richard Neutra's principles of architecture and design. Neutraface was designed by Christian Schwartz over the period of a year with assistance in art direction from Ken Barber and Andy Cruz.
