About the family


Reiner Meridian is a companion typeface developed alongside Reiner Neue, revisiting the proportions and expressive logic of Imre Reiner’s 1930 Meridian through a contemporary lens. Rather than being a direct revival, it translates the original’s early modernist attitude into a single, focused cut designed to integrate seamlessly within a modern type system. The letterforms maintain a distinctive rhythmic tension and bold structural presence, providing a more characterful counterpoint to the core Reiner Neue family. Reiner Meridian is intended for moments where form takes precedence — such as headlines, editorial accents, and expressive typographic settings — while remaining visually compatible with its companion text styles. Designed as part of a broader typographic framework, Reiner Meridian expands the Reiner Neue system with a historically informed yet distinctly modern voice.

About Monovo

Monovo is the innovative type universe crafted by Amondó Szegi, a distinguished type designer and educator at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) in Budapest. As the founder of Fontanatype, Hungary's first internationally recognized digital type foundry established in 1999, Szegi brings over 25 years of expertise to the field. His typefaces have gained prominence through T-26, where several designs reached bestseller status, alongside P22/IHOF and The Type Foundry. Licensed by Canva, his work continues to enhance editorial design, brand identity, and cultural projects globally. Fontanatype uniquely bridges historical references with contemporary practices, translating rhythm, structure, and typographic intelligence into functional type systems that respect tradition while innovating. Monovo builds upon this legacy with a conceptual focus, embodying the belief that letterforms are dynamic tools of communication—shaped by history, culture, and practical application, from editorial text to expressive design. Drawing inspiration from the rich lineage of typographic forms and the intentional challenge of rule-breaking, Monovo produces flat, iconic, and versatile typefaces that convey clarity, warmth, and purpose. Through Monovo, Szegi delves into appropriation, revival, and reinterpretation, treating letters as conceptual ready-made objects while broadening the creative horizons of type in contemporary design.
