Söhne Breit Extrafett Regular is a commanding presence within the Söhne collection, a typeface family that serves as a modern homage to the legendary Akzidenz-Grotesk. Developed by the award-winning Klim Type Foundry, the 'Breit' (Wide) variant expands the horizontal proportions of the letters, while 'Extrafett' represents its most robust, heavy-weight incarnation. This combination results in a typeface that captures the physical presence of industrial signage with refined, digital-first craftsmanship.
The design of Söhne Breit is deeply rooted in the 'material reality' of the New York City subway system, specifically the signage adapted by Massimo Vignelli and Bob Noorda. By widening the stance and maximizing the weight, Extrafett Regular becomes an ideal tool for cinematic display use. It maintains the neutrality of the International Typographic Style while adding a layer of contemporary drama and authority, making it a staple for high-end editorial and corporate identity systems.
