Mittelscharfer Senf is a lowercase alphabet made out of 10 elements. The letters are constructed out of either three or four elements, which are stacked horizontally. The alphabets shapes are inspired by the form of mustard pressed out of a tube, which was then visualized using geometrical forms. Mittelscharfer Senf is an unusual, squarish and bold typeface with a strong horizontal stress. It works excellently with large typesizes on posters and headlines.
