Author's note

Acid by Stephan Baum is a free light sans serif with tall proportions and a stripped-back, modern appearance. Its thin strokes form open curves and sharply drawn diagonals. The lettering feels calm and precise.

Simple line illustrations echo this lean construction in editorial spreads and cultural posters. Fashion branding and gallery invitations also suit its restrained, airy manner. It is most convincing in publishing, where the long verticals and clean curves lend cover lines a cool, understated voice.
