TGL 0-16

by Peter Wiegel · Website

TGL 0-16 is a mono-weight geometric typeface by Peter Wiegel based on the technical lettering standard used in East German (DDR) engineering drafts. The oblique letterforms follow the precise, no-frills construction you'd find on architectural plans and mechanical drawings, with uniform stroke width and strictly functional proportions. It's a faithful digitization of a drafting standard rather than a design exercise, making it a distinctive choice for technical documentation, retro-engineering aesthetics, or anywhere that disciplined, utilitarian lettering feels right.
