Söhne Breit Kräftig Italic

Söhne Breit Kräftig Italic is a distinguished member of the Söhne collection by Klim Type Foundry. This specific variant captures the 'Breit' (wide) proportions, offering an expansive and cinematic horizontal presence. The name 'Kräftig' translates to 'strong' or 'powerful,' representing a medium-heavy weight that balances visibility with elegance. It serves as a modern homage to the legendary Akzidenz-Grotesk, specifically distilled through the lens of the New York City subway signage system designed by Unimark.

The Italic styling is not merely a slanted version of the upright but is a carefully crafted companion that maintains the structural integrity of the wide sans-serif form. Developed by Kris Sowersby, this typeface is celebrated for its precise engineering and its ability to feel both historical and contemporary. It is widely used in high-end editorial projects and corporate identities that require a sense of permanence and authority without sacrificing modern flair.
