Multi-weight u&lc Neuland?
Hi,
I'm looking for, essentially, Neuland, but with multiple weights, upper and lowercase, maybe an italic even... I know such exists because I've seen it published.

Anyone?

I don't think so. There are cap and small cap Neuland characters, but the upper- and lowercase version looks very Kabel-like to me.

Koch's original meta Neuland for the Klingspor foundry was unicase. There was no lowercase. Modern digitations' small caps are just reduced caps designs.
The original Neuland's letters varied from point size to point size, but none of them were lowercase.
I'm sure that there are typefaces out there that have added lowercase characters to Neuland's letters, and some of these typefaces may indeed be stylistically harmonious. But I don't know where to send you.

Treacyfaces offers this family (Neue Neuland) with lowercase in several weights. Look at
Treacyfaces/Headliners
and scroll to Neue Neuland. It's not bad, though a bit of a chimera.

Thanks Crossgrove. Looks like it's Neue Neuland. I ought to tell TreacyFaces to get on myfonts...

Better to use "monocase" or "caps only" or something, to avoid confusion .
> Neue Neuland
Are there no ownership/permission issues there?

Harold's Fonts' Bride of the Monster is very close to Neuland (see the explanation on the page) and includes a lower case, stencil, and inline variations. It's only $5 too!

Just to show how Neuland gets around, George Ryan of Galapagos Design created Culpepper in 2002, as his attempt to design a Neuland-based font with a lower case (as well as small caps).
FWIW, I like Joe Treacy's version better, and that is definitely the one used for the posted samples.
