Bebas Neue is an open-source font designed by Ryoichi Tsunekawa and released under his company Dharma Type. It features a single weight (regular) and is an all-caps font.
Prior to Bebas Neue, Ryoichi released a font named ‘Bebas’. In 2010 Bebas was re-designed and released as Bebas Neue. Both the original and the Neue version were both released with a license that allows the fonts to be used for free, both in personal and commercial applications.
Bebas Neue is an extremely popular font and has been downloaded over ten million times. In 2019 Ryoichi released a premium version named ‘Bebas Neue Pro’ which includes lowercase characters and five new weights.
Bebas Neue Pro is an extremely high quality font which does not come cheap. A web license will set you back around $150 per 10,000 page views.
