Designed by Thomas Hoffman, HoTom's historical roots are easily traced back to the slab serif style. HoTom was originally intended as a lettering system for a project in the center of the old East Berlin. This explains the stable, angular characters and the consistent rectangular base forms, which also makes HoTom a very legible font, suitable for longer texts.Ho Tom is part of the TakeType Library, which features winners of Linotype's International Digital Type Design Contest from 1994 to 1997.
