universal by herbert bayer … so geht kleinschreibung.Typography was his first interest, when Herbert Bayer came to the Bauhaus, influenced by De Stijl and Moholy. He learned from Klee and Kandinsky as well, being part of their lectures.Bayer suggests to write with the “kleinschreibung” (= sturm blond) and to use the capital letters for posters and displays. “This would save space and money”, so Bayer said, because there was only one range of typeface. He used a simple Sans Serif Font. Soon the publications from the Bauhaus used only small letters minuscules. 1925 he became one of the junior masters, teaching typography. -- source link
