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 [...]
Bizarre and naked, sans serif alphabets joined the ranks of typefaces in the early 19th century when an English type foundry produced the first sans serif typeface in 1816.
But between 1810 and 1840, bold antiqua weights inspired by Bodoni and the newly developed slab serif linear antiqua typefaces were still more prominent and widely used in advertisements.
Even the creator of the first sans serif typeface, William Caslon, was not immediately convinced of the success of this new kind [...]
Font Designer: Gary Munch, 1997
Linotype Ergo™, designed by Gary Munch and a winner in Linotype’s 1997 International Digital Design Contest, was 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 selection. Now, 14 new styles have been added to the family, making it more useful than ever! Five condensed weights, each with a companion italic, are now available in both OpenType Pro and Com [...]
About Linotype Ergo™ Medium Condensed ...
Designer: Gary Munch, 1997
Linotype Ergo™ Medium Condensed belongs to the Linotype Ergo™ Font Family which 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.
