About Veto® Font Family ...
Designer: Marco Ganz / Marco Ganz, 1999
The Veto® Font Family is part of the Linotype Originals.
"Zero Gravity" is the motto of modern digital economy and culture: clear statements and no extra baggage result in optimal mobility and adaptation to quick changes. These principles apply to the Veto typeface, from Swiss designer Marco Ganz. Dynamic, functional, and unencumbered by the past, Veto has no frills, just everything that makes a font suitable for any use. Both light and normal weights are appropriate for body text, the italics are legible and the true bold weights can serve as striking display typefaces.
