About
Bebas Neue started in 2005 when Ryoichi Tsunekawa released Bebas as a personal font project. It evolved into Bebas Neue in 2010—a refined all-caps display typeface inspired by 1920s geometric sans-serifs like Futura. In 2014, Fontfabric expanded it into a full family, and since 2018 it’s been open‑source under the SIL OFL .
