Neue Gstaad

Neue Gstaad is a contemporary type family shaped by a distinctly Swiss sense of refinement, calm, confidence, and precision. Designed by Ian Party, it moves beyond regional clichés to embrace a broader, more universal expression of Swiss design: one rooted in clarity, discretion, and quiet sophistication. Loosely inspired by typographic giants, Neue Gstaad interprets its references with restraint. Its structure unfolds across an ultra-versatile variable system, spanning from Compressed to Expanded, allowing for a fluid range of voices, from compact editorial settings to expansive, architectural compositions.

Neue Gstaad evokes a sensibility rather than a location. It suggests altitude without excess, luxury without noise, a cultivated balance between tradition and modernity, discipline and openness. The family includes 112 styles, 7 subfamilies, and is built as a complete, future-facing typographic system. It is rich in OpenType features and supports a wide range of Latin-based languages.

Rooted in heritage yet designed for the future, Neue Gstaad reflects Ian Party’s ongoing exploration of type as a living system. It is a rich and complex design distilled into an essential clarity, where simplicity emerges not from reduction, but from mastery.

A new stage in the development of a complete variable ecosystem, Neue Gstaad embodies a singular idea: a quiet form of expression, shaped by precision.
