Comparison of distinguishing characters in Akzidenz-Grotesk, Folio, Helvetica, and Univers 55.

Шаблон:More footnotes Folio is a sans-serif typeface in the neo-grotesque style designed by Konrad Friedrich Bauer and Walter Baum in 1957 for the Bauer Type Foundry (German: Bauersche Gießerei).[1] Bauer licensed the design to Fonderie Typographique Française for sale in France under the name Caravelle.[2]

Folio is considered part of the International Typographic Style, with Helvetica and Univers also released at the same time. All three are modeled after Akzidenz-Grotesk.[3] However, Folio more closely follows the original model than the other two,[3] which have larger x-heights.[1] The typeface experienced moderate success in the United States.[3] The typeface family was extended in 1963, adding an Extra Bold weight and a Bold Condensed width.[3] Bauer released 17 styles of Folio between 1956 and 1969.[2]

Folio Extended (Folio Halbfett) included alternate versions of upper case A, E, M, N, and R.

The cold type version was issued by Hell AG.[3]
