About Zidler Font Family


One of my all time favourite movies is Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge. In it, there’s a brief scene where the proprietor of the Moulin Rouge (Harold Zidler) signs away the deeds to the establishment. The actual signing of his signature is what motivated me to create this script font. Although it’s not an exact replica of the character’s hand, I like to think that it has the same crisp immediacy of the original. With its consistent oblique slant, narrow and long ascenders and descenders, and the occasional blobbing of letters, the overall effect, gives the appearance of a correspondence penned by lamplight while a storm rages outside.

About MKGD

My name is Michael Kovacevich and I run MKGD Font Foundry. I’ve been a professional graphic designer for the better part of three decades. I’ve freelanced, worked in various studios, and in the art departments of garment industries. During that time I, like most designers, have dealt with type on a daily basis. I’ve set, kerned, tracked, bastardized and hand lettered type of all kinds over those many years. These days however, I’ve decided to bring my experience to bear on the designing of typefaces. I like to think of it as distilling my years of experience into something that anyone with a creative interest could utilize. During the course of my efforts, I hope people will find my work as interesting for them to use, as it is for me to produce.
