About Nova Horst Font Family


Nova Horst is an amplified version of Horst, a highly original font (MyFonts Rising Star) based on etchings by the extraordinary artist and printmaker Horst Janssen. Nova Horst keeps all the amazing wilderness of the original font, while enriched with sharp OpenType programming, plus a whole new set of alternates, a handy set of ornaments and loads of cool unpredictable overlapping glyphs. Language support was also expanded. Now there are 5 sets of letters, 2 sets of numerals and a robust set of discretionary ligatures. OpenType functionalities now include an extremely playful Contextual Alternates feature and also Discretionary Ligatures and Stylistic Alternates. Nova Horst is an energizing blend of eccentric characters, cool OpenType features, loads of alternates and a meticulous kerning table. But be warned: as the original font, this one is quite addictive! A quick roadmap: • All features turned off: you can choose the different letterforms stored on upper- and lowercase sets. There are no overlapping letters. • Contextual Alternates turned on: you get alternating characters from 4 sets of glyphs, with loads of overlapping letters, all managed by a carefully handcrafted kerning table. The result is a very cool random effect on glyphs distribution. • Discretionary Ligatures turned on: now some additional glyphs enter the scene. There are more than 60 ligatures glyphs which substitute pairs of letters for some extra-coolness • Stylistic Alternates turned on: access the counterless glyphs from the Stylistic Alternates set. Use each feature alone or mix them up for added boldness. Gorgeous extravaganza guaranteed!

About PintassilgoPrints

Their first commercial font is from 2009. And it didn’t take long for PintassilgoPrints typefaces to be picked by creatives to speak for brands such as McDonald's, Starbucks, Cartoon Network, Jamie Oliver, Hasbro, Mattel, Gap, Taschen, Rovio and others. Check out examples of the foundry's fonts in use here. With a strong background in hand printing techniques, PintassilgoPrints has been developing a consistent and original library, with fonts ranking to our best-selling list and Rising Star issues. Their work was also featured in printed magazines and books such as Computer Arts, Page Magazine, Slanted, PicNic, Typolyrics, Typodarium, The Yearbook of Type. The foundry was interviewed for our Creative Characters newsletter as well as for the prestigious 8 Faces Magazine. ​PintassilgoPrints fonts are often packed with many alternative glyphs and a clever touch of OpenType programming. Their typefaces mostly reflect a vigorous handcrafted feel, seasoned with some 'je ne sais quoi' that decidedly works. Horst was their first Best Seller and Rising Star font, the same route taken by Monstro and Populaire. This ubiquitous one also made it to the Most Popular Fonts of 2011 list. Now established in Florianópolis, an island city in Brazil, the foundry is run by Ricardo Marcin and Erica Jung, who also share life, kids and a long time love of typography, graphic arts, music and sun. By the time of their interview for Creative Characters they were based in Vitória, curiously also an island. Definitely many more sunshiny fonts are yet to come from PintassilgoPrints.
