Über die Familie


Altivo is a proper workhorse sans serif. Sixteen OpenType fonts in eight weights (with true Italics) range from Thin to Ultra. Meticulous care was taken to ensure high legibility in text sizes on the screen. The typeface is designed to have wide proportions, generous x-height, loose spacing, ink traps, large apertures and low stroke contrast. Altivo’s ink traps are not only a functional design feature, they also look interesting and lend character to the typeface in headlines. True Italics, small caps and multiple sets of figures, as well as a complete set of lowercase superscript were all included in the family to accommodate high typographic standards. If you need to pair it with a serif font, you can’t go wrong with Chiavettieri, since both typefaces were made with the same basic proportions, and their tabular figures are the same width.

Über Kostic

Kostić Type Foundry is a small, independent type foundry run by the father-and-son team Zoran and Nikola Kostić. Zoran began designing fonts in 1987 out of necessity—his DTP studio required PostScript Cyrillic fonts, which were unavailable at the time. What started as a practical need soon became a lifelong passion, leading him to create numerous original typefaces, including Batke, Beograd, KosticSans, KosticSerif, Lapidary Capitals, Sketch, DesignerRound, Why Square, and Just Square (both licensed by Linotype). After closing his studio in 2004, Zoran dedicated himself to the digital preservation of medieval manuscripts from the Hilandar Monastery. To support this work, he developed complex typefaces based on Old Church Slavonic scripts, such as Hilandarski Ustav and Monah, each containing over 6,400 characters. Nikola grew up surrounded by the creative energy of his father’s DTP studio in the late '80s. After earning a master’s degree from the Faculty of Applied Arts at the University of Arts in Belgrade, he initially pursued a career in graphic design. However, in 2011, he decided to design his first commercial typeface and turned to Zoran for guidance in font production. When the font sold a license on its very first day of distribution, there was no turning back—Nikola shifted his focus entirely to type design. By 2021, Nikola had built a diverse library of typefaces, including Chiavettieri, Altivo, Roc Grotesk, and Rizado Script. As his passion for type design grew, so did his expertise. After Zoran retired in 2018, Nikola, who was already focused on design, took on the technical aspects as well, overseeing every stage of font production. His work has earned critical acclaim and prestigious design awards from some of the world’s leading typographic organizations. Kostić Type Foundry’s typefaces have reached millions of designers worldwide, appearing in everything from U.S. presidential campaign to local grocery store logos—a testament to the global impact of their craft.
