Virna: I Want My MTV.IT
Just as Fabrizio Schiavi’s Pragmata was getting a good talking-up in the Fonts for Programmers post, comes news of his newest typeface: Virna, designed specifically for MTV Italy and the mtv.it site. A bit soccer-jersey style, a bit pop-op scripty, a bit reminiscent of WeWorkForThem’s Trisect [ at TPC ], Virna has some great treatments and readymade ligatures. Nice solution to the accents and umlauts as well. Bella!

Reminds me of this beauty for the olympics in Mexico. Old-school all the way baby.
Okay, Fabrizio,
I think someone did a typeface based on the Mexico68 logo, Armin (but maybe it’s a shareware not-so-great one, I don’t recall). There are various interesting takes on this “polyline” idea, but Fabrizio did a heck of a job making all these ligatures-which-happen-by-accident-or-so (both in vertical and horizontal space) producing often nicely “unreadable” logo-words.
Download the PDF on Virna’s page, anyway: it’s worth a look! Claudio Piccinini | Nov 26, 2003 01:01 PM
FYI another thread at Typophile with multilinear typefaces, including the "shareware not-so-great" Mexcellent from Ray Larabie. Troubleman | Nov 28, 2003 06:39 AM |
