The font Bauhaus was designed in 1975 by the designers Victor Caruso and Ed Benguiat. The font was based off of shapes that are geometric and the stroke weights are very plain. The stroke weights are basically the width of the separate lines used when creating a font. The font was originally created to be used for a design made particularly for display use.

It was originally created with an outline version, but it was eventually dismissed was refrained from being used. The Bauhaus with the heavy stroke was partly made from the text offers. Adobe, which is a company which focuses on design created an OpenType Std version.
