“Berlin Sans is based on a brilliant alphabet from the late twenties, originally released by Bauer with the name Negro, the very first sans that Lucian Bernhard ever designed. Assisted by Matthew Butterick, David Berlow expanded this single font into a series of four weights, all complete with expert character sets, plus a dingbat font. Imaginative & little-known, it promises enticing opportunities to the adventurous typographer. — Font Bureau, 1994.

Originally published by Font Bureau and FontFont (as FF Berlinsans) in 1992. Later exclusively available from Font Bureau. Sold to Monotype in May 2023, along with other Berlow typefaces [Monotype PR].
