About the family


Mozsár, named after Mozsár Street in the downtown of Budapest (pronounced ‘mo-zhar’, meaning mortar in Hungarian.) Mozsár is a unicase display typeface with constructivist characteristics from the early 20th Century. It uses pure geometric shapes and purposefully departs from strict typographical rules to give a more friendly look. With Mozsár you can create really unique and awesome looking displays, titles and even name plates for your business. It works very well in big size. The central idea behind the design was that two variants of the typeface would randomly alternate as the user types. The typeface uses Contextual Alternates (CALT) created with the OpenType’s semi-random feature to mix the variants. The width and height of the letter shapes are generally equal, but I made some exceptions to lend the type a character of unexpectedness. The curves are identical in both versions of each letter, and the intersections of the axes are always perpendicular (with some evident exceptions).

About Accentype

Accentype is an independent type design studio founded by Miklós Ferencz, based in Marseille, France. The idea behind the name is simple. Our focus is on the details that give a language and writing its character, such as the accents, the dialects, and the local nuances that make typography diverse and inclusive. Instead of following rigid trends, we combine drawing, visual skills, and custom scripting with constant experimentation. We focus on testing how our fonts behave, making sure they work just as well on a small screen as they do in high-quality print. Whether it’s a custom branding project, unique lettering, or a highly technical font family, our goal is to create typefaces that feel both aesthetic and functional. For us, type design isn't just about making characters; it's about building the right tools for designers and everyone who needs to communicate with clarity and style.
