Designer Olivera Stojadinovic (born 14. 10. 1953 in Belgrad) created the fonts ITC Aspera™ (2001), ITC Hedera™ (2002), ITC Rastko™ (2001), ITC Resavska™ (2004) and ITC Resavska Sans™ (2004). These Font Families are part of the ITC Library OpenType Edition.

ITC Aspera is the product of graphic experimentation. Olivera Stojadinovic, who designed the face, recalls, "Over the last 15 years, I have made several small prints using Cyrillic characters. Often, I made my first sketches with a special pointed brush which was difficult to manipulate well, but once tamed, gave me interesting results." Stojadinovic decided to see if she could reproduce the unique brush quality in digital form.

"The idea was to preserve the look of strokes made by my brush, so I kept the scanned shapes as close as possible to the originals, making interventions just to maintain consistent proportions, slope and weight." While this typeface is not a connecting script, Stojadinovic did create a number of letters, such as the 'o' and 's' that are natural connecting characters. She also drew a set of ligatures and matching ornaments to accompany the design.
