Revitalize Your Script Font Selection – Meet Ex Ponto®

Ex Ponto®, designed by type designer Jovica Veljovic, is a spirited script typeface based on the rhythm of Veljovic´s handwriting. The typeface combines the vigor of handwritten letters with the grace of meticulously crafted script typography.
Veljovic began by drawing calligraphic characters on rough paper and then carefully modified these ragged-edged letterforms to produce graceful, balanced characters. All along its weight axis, from light to bold, Ex Ponto® sparkles with the nuances of the handwriting from which it originated. Designed primarily for use at display sizes, Ex Ponto® also works well in text as small as 12 points. The vibrant intensity of Ex Ponto® will rivet your readers to the page or poster or package.

Cyrillic text? Satisfy your communications needs quickly, securely, and professionally. Linotype’s linguistic experts are making sure that more and more typefaces include the Cyrillic alphabet. Many of your favorite western fonts are now also available in Cyrillic as OpenType, TrueType, and PostScript fonts. OpenType Fonts with Cyrillic are particularly easy to use, because the Latin encoding and the Cyrillic encoding are completely contained within one Font. In the other font formats (TrueType and PostScript), the various language groups available are divided up into several fonts.

Discover How Type Systems Make Designing Easier Than Ever

Imagine bread with jam and pickles. Or strawberries with ketchup. With all due respect to each individual’s sense of taste, most of us would find such a mixture of ingredients far from palpable. In other words, it’s all about finding the right mix – not only in the kitchen. But also in matters of love or when you’re getting dressed. And in typography as well, of course.
