Über die Familie


AKTIVIST is a high-impact experimental display typeface designed for bold visual identities, striking headlines, posters, editorial design, and contemporary branding. Its distinctive unicase construction creates immediate graphic tension, making it ideal wherever typography must speak with confidence, character, and presence. Built for designers who want more than neutrality, AKTIVIST delivers expressive rhythm, sharp geometry, and a strong visual voice. Equally at home in cultural projects, fashion, publishing, and experimental graphic work.

Inspired by the visual language of the Hungarian avant-garde, AKTIVIST pays homage to Lajos Kassák and the radical spirit of Ma (Today), the influential modernist journal founded in 1916.

Rooted in Constructivist composition and early twentieth-century activist aesthetics, the typeface explores the tension between structure and disruption. Sharp geometry meets deliberate irregularity; familiar letterforms are subtly reworked to create movement, friction, and visual momentum. A hidden Small Caps cameo adds layer — an understated secondary voice embedded within the system.

Designed as a single-weight display font, AKTIVIST embraces reduction and precision. It does not seek neutrality. It is designed to stand out — and stand for something.

More than a revival, AKTIVIST is a contemporary reinterpretation of a historical attitude — one that reflects Kassák’s belief in the social role of art and the transformative power of form.

Art is not decoration. Art is life.

Über Fontanatype

Fontanatype is an independent Hungarian type foundry founded in 1999 by Amondó Szegi and Gábor Kóthay — one of the first in Hungary to reach an international audience. Over 25 years, its typefaces have been distributed through T-26 (where several achieved bestseller status), P22/IHOF, and The Type Foundry, with a Canva license for Crave Neue. Led by Amondó — designer, typographer, and type design educator at MOME and other design schools in Budapest — the foundry's work ranges from historically informed text families to experimental display designs, always connecting craft with cultural intent. Fontanatype typefaces serve editorial design, brand identity, and cultural projects internationally. On MyFonts, the foundry appears under two labels: MONOVO for its contemporary releases, and Fontanatype for its broader catalogue — classics, experiments, and new work. The foundry's name and logo are no accident — a quiet nod to Duchamp, and to the idea that a letter, like any object, can be lifted from its context and made to mean something new.
