Golt

A Sans Serif Shaped by Berlin’s Urban Design

Author: Gallery Type

Golt is a contemporary sans serif, designed for clarity, character, and versatility. Inspired by the visual culture of Berlin’s U-Bahn and street signage, it embodies the functional precision and typographic discipline that define German design.

The typeface combines wide, rounded forms with crisp verticals, creating a balanced texture that works equally well in print and on screen. Distinctive details—like the open G, angled t, and characteristic y—give Golt subtle personality without compromising readability. Contextual alternates, including the German ß, pay deliberate homage to Berlin’s street sign typefaces from the early 20th century as well as Andreas Frohloff’s redesign in the 1990s. Golt is made for brands that value typographic integrity and want a sans serif that feels contemporary yet considered. Whether in headlines, body text, or wayfinding, Golt delivers a confident, cohesive presence.

Gallery Type is an independent type foundry based in Berlin, built by designers for designers. They make font licensing simple and fair: All-in-One licenses are based only on company size and location. One license, all uses, forever.
