Veto
The underlying intention in the case of Veto® was to create a new and original sans serif font. For example, the lower case Veto letters are of normal width, while the upper case letters are quite clearly much narrower in proportion. This is because Marco Ganz considers that if miniscule letters are too narrow they are difficult to read (see Rotis®) while majescules that are too wide not only have an outmoded effect but take up too much space (see Helvetica®).

"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.
