Bauhaus

Staatliches Bauhaus ( listen ), commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was an art school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicised and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term  Bauhaus —literally "construction house"—was understood as meaning "School of Building".

The Bauhaus was first founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus during the first years of its existence did not have an architecture department. Nonetheless, it was founded with the idea of creating a "total" work of art in which all arts, including architecture, would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style later became one of the most influential currents in modern design, Modernist architecture and art, design and architectural education. The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography.

Bauhaus (typeface)

The Bauhaus typeface design is based on Herbert Bayer's 1925 experimental Universal typeface.

Blippo

Blippo was designed by Joe Taylor for Fotostar in 1969 as a black version of Burko Bold, which itself is based on the unfinished design by the German Bauhaus school. The font was named Blippo Black by Joe's boss, Robert Trogmann. It retains proportion and fit of ITC Ronda.

Bauhaus 93

It is a variant of URW Blippo Black. Only 1 font was produced. It is used in Microsoft Word. It is also used for the Postman Pat logo, around Disney's Polynesian Resort, and on the title screens for Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2, as well as the Amiibo logo.

ITC Ronda

It was designed by Herb Lubalin in 1970. It adds lower case letters to the family.

Distinguishing characteristics include the shapes of the upper right third of the capital B, P and R as well as the half-circle form of the descender of the Q. ITC Ronda is similar to Michael Neugebauer's Litera; both fonts display styles characteristic of the Bauhaus' work.
