Nouvelle Noire designed a custom type family for Theater Basel, which is a key part to the identity designed by Basel-based studio Claudiabasel . Based on this particular typeface, Nouvelle Noire later crafted a publicly available retail version named Pivot Grotesk.
On this poster, Theater Basel Grotesk (now Pivot Grotesk) is paired with a serif typeface that’s also part of the custom typeface family. Dubbed Theater Basel Antiqua, this branch is exclusive to the theater at the time of writing.
