Poller One

Poller One is a high-contrast, semi-extended sans-serif display typeface designed by Yvonne Schüttler for Sorkin Type Co, available on Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License since 2011. The design draws inspiration from hand lettering found on early 20th-century German posters, capturing the bold, attention-grabbing spirit of Weimar-era advertising typography where every letterform was crafted to sell, persuade, and captivate from across crowded streets. Poller One is both readable and full of personality, with dramatic thick-thin stroke contrast that creates a striking visual rhythm across headlines and display settings. The higher contrast means Poller One performs best from medium sizes to larger display applications, where its German poster heritage can fully express itself. This typeface is ideal for craft beer label designs, vintage poster reproductions, European bistro branding, early 20th-century themed event promotions, and bold editorial headlines that channel the creative energy of Berlin's golden age of graphic design and poster art.
