This is because the requirements for a suitable font are actually much more complex than it seems at first glance – and the almost endless number of available fonts doesn’t make the decision any easier, either.

Based in Norway, Monokrom is a small independent foundry renowned for their high quality and timeless designs. We’re delighted to welcome Nina Stössinger’s Nordvest to FontShop and to showcase the latest updates to Vinter and Telefon, with the biggest news at the bottom.
