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 conceptual type universe of Amondó Szegi, emerging from the long-standing practice of Fontanatype Foundry, founded in 1999. Amondó Szegi’s work is driven by a deep fascination with the living nature of letters and their evolving role in design. Fontanatype, Hungary’s first internationally recognized digital type foundry, bridges historical reference and contemporary practice, translating rhythm, structure, and typographic intelligence into usable type systems that honor tradition without replicating it. Monovo builds on this legacy through a focused, conceptual lens. It reflects the belief that letterforms are not static artefacts but dynamic tools of communication, shaped by history, culture, and practical use — from editorial text to expressive design. Inspired by both the long lineage of typographic forms and the playful challenge of breaking rules with intention, Monovo creates flat, iconic, and versatile typefaces that speak with clarity, warmth, and purpose. Through Monovo, Szegi continues to explore appropriation, revival, and reinterpretation, treating letters as conceptual ready-made objects while expanding the creative possibilities of type for contemporary design.
