About Metamoderna Font Family


After several decades in letterform and type design I attempted to create a contrasted sans serif font that comes out of various observations in modern handwritten Greek letters without calligraphic vanities. The innovation is mainly in the drawing of lambda where I omitted its forward leg, which push back to the previous letter leaving a void, I drew the basic body of the letter vertical to stick out and above the body of the previous letters in text so that it preserves its character. Also zeta was drawn in a vertical form in order to avoid leaving white space on its right. Finally the capital Omega was designed with a significant simplification while keeping its identity and without losing its basic drawing. We created an alphabet that is -in general- dominated by curvy lines. Metamoderna is available in 4 weights plus designed italics on each of the weights, supporting Greek Monotonic and Polytonic, full Western and Central European Latins.

The permanent members (Panos Haratzopoulos, Yannis Karlopoulos), their regular collaborators and many other graphic designers that they have cooperated at times, equally skilled in typography and with a significant contribution to graphic design and visual arts.During this time Fonts.GR has designed and published to the Greek and international market new font designs, original or Greek versions, which were accepted with enthusiasm since they covered the need for dynamic communication tools. Many of these fonts were coincided (in terms of communication) with major events (Olympic Games Athens 2004, Greek Presidency of the European Union) and supported the graphic communication of agencies, institutions, advertising companies, newspapers and other publications. Fonts.GR's “Stella Project” (2013-2018), a study in the forgotten art of calligraphy of the 50s, 60s and 70s, gained great publicity in Greece. It led to the production of original fonts widely used in Greek packaging and branding, an exhibition at the Benaki Museum, a documentary on ERT3 public television and a series of lectures and workshops in Greece and Cyprus.Fonts.GR has been providing consulting services related to the design of Greek characters to many Type Foundries and independent designers around the world.
