À propos de la famille Monotalic Police


Monotalic was created as a fun experiment, exploring better solutions for the monospaced type design. Most monospaced (fixed-width) typefaces have the same main design problem regarding the lowercase – filling the empty space around l, f, i, j and r. That usually brings the addition of slab serifs to those narrow characters, causing many monospaced fonts to look and feel alike. Monotalic solves that problem by adopting the handwritten (or cursive) form for those problematic characters, which allows them to be defined in more strokes, thus getting a better distribution of form in that fixed-width space. On the other hand, cursive writing usually lacks the legibility of a Roman (Regular upright) style, so Monotalic was created to be a hybrid, taking the best of both worlds. Monospaced fonts today are mostly used for coding. Modern code editors use colored text in order to differentiate between different kinds of code. So, in that environment there’s actually no need for traditional text styling by adding Italics, Bold or other styles, because the code lines are overstated as it is. That is why Monotalic focuses on one style only, in three widths and four weights. The weights allow users to choose the perfect contrast of text on screen, depending on their monitor resolution and background color in the editor. Movie scripts are almost exclusively set in 12pt Courier. It became the industry standard because when set in the specific “screenplay format" it helps with the breakdown of the schedule and budgeting process of the film production. Although it looks completely different, text set in Monotalic (Normal width) will take the same amount of space as Courier.

À propos 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.
