Bag om finding Forte

"Forte", the lively and appealing typeface that everyone knows, was published by Monotype Corporation six decades ago. Well-known figures in the world of typography, such as Stanley Morison and Vincent Connare, are associated with the vibrant lines of this typeface. But the designer, Austrian graphic artist Karl Reißberger, remained largely unknown. Until now.  This richly illustrated book uses Reißberger's early posters, original designs, and advertising materials to tell the story of how the typeface came to be. With "Forte Forward", Toshi Omagaris has breathed new life into the typeface sixty years later. It is published simultaneously with this book.  Interpretations by contemporary artists who have explored the formal language of Forte in dialogue with its historical manifestations also find their way into this book. This approach opens up new approaches to typography.
