American designer Gary Munch created the fonts Linotype Ergo™ (1997), Linotype Finerliner™ (1997), Linotype Really™ (1999), and Really™ No 2 (2009). Linotype Ergo is a relatively new font oriented on the form philosophy of Univers™ and Frutiger™, namely, that a font which the eye should see as "correct" cannot be constructed. The eye tends to enlarge horizontals and to perceive verticals as weaker, and the stroke differences of Ergo are therefore designed to accommodate this tendency. Ergo [...]

About Linotype Ergo™ Font Family ...

Linotype usage sample for
Designer: Gary Munch, 1997
The Linotype Ergo™ Font Family is part of the Linotype Originals.
Linotype Ergo was designed by American Gary Munch, and was a winner in Linotype's Second International Digital Design Contest in 1997. Conceived as a blend of traditional and modern type concepts, it works as a legible text family as well as a lively display or headline font. The word ergo means "consequently," but it also comes from the Greek word "ergon" for "work." Consequently, Munch sees this family as full of energy -- an ideal font for working hard to make a point, and able to get it across with friendly vigor.

The strokes of the characters are carefully designed to accommodate the tendency of the eye to enlarge horizontals and perceive verticals as lighter. The lowercase forms have open, friendly counters and are enhanced by small quirks, such as the slightly leaning s and the wide t. The deep branching of curves from main strokes helps this humanist sans to be very readable at smaller sizes.

Linotype Ergo has four normal-width weights, five condensed weights, and two compressed weights - all with companion Italics! The family also includes a clever "Sketch" font for use in headlines, bringing the total number of font styles to 23.
Ergo is available with Greek and Cyrillic and as W2G fonts with Hebrew.
