Last year, to kick off its “Hidden Treasures” campaign, Adobe partnered with an award-winning Photoshop brush maker and Oslo’s Munch Museum to digitally re-create seven of painter Edvard Munch’s original brushes, turning them into tools for Photoshop and Sketch users.

This year, the company has set its sights on the Bauhaus, the short-lived (1919 to 1933) but immensely influential German school of design. And lettering, rather than furniture and architecture, is the focus.

“Hidden Treasures: Bauhaus Dessau” is a series of five free font families that use as their starting point letter fragments and sketches by original members of the Bauhaus.
