Unicase fonts

Unicase fonts are fonts in which we have only one set of letters that can be used both for uppercase and lowercase. It is believed that Herbert Bayer first proposed unicase type in his Bayer Universal typefaces (around 1929). A partial list of the candidates (links elsewhere on this page):

  • Bayer Universal (1925-1930) by Herbert Bayer, the original. Revivals at P22: P22 Bayer Fonetik (1997), P22 Bayer Shadow, P22 Bayer Universal. Nick Curtis has Debonair Inline NF (2008).
  • Foundry Architype Bayer (1996) at The Foundry, fonted by Freda Sack.
  • Marfhaus (1998) by Martin Fredrikson Core at Core.Nu Fonts.
  • Alphabet 26: an idea of Bradbury Thompson, digitized by Paul Baker in 2001.
  • Tschicholina (1997): by Joan Barjau, Type-o-tones.
  • Panoptica (2003), a new monowidth unicase family by Nick Shinn.
  • Unicase (2001) by Kemie Guaida at Pixilate Designs.
  • Fermo (2002) by Ramiz Guseynov.
  • Digidojo (2003): a pixelized unicase font by Nick Hoople.
  • Nastepna by Heinrich Lipschka at Typografski Font Boutique.
  • Kaiser by Peter von Zezschwitz (Zetafonts).
