Nobel offers personal variations on strict Bauhaus geometry. In 1929, only two years after the Futura release, Sjoerd Hendrik de Roos at Amsterdam Typefoundry explored alternative character sets to enliven basic geometric forms and produced a best-selling typeface in Nobel. Font Bureau’s Nobel series was designed by Tobias Frere-Jones, who fondly views Nobel as “Futura cooked in dirty pots and pans.” The Extra Lights were added by Cyrus Highsmith and Dyana Weissman.
