Luttor specimen from Cinketype

A 24-style type family drawn from Ignác Luttor's 1930s Hungarian 'Zsinórírás' handwriting system, spanning a spectrum from disconnected printed letterforms to fully connected cursive.

About

Tibor Szikora developed Luttor from the pedagogical booklet 'A Luttor-féle új írásmód' (1936), in which Luttor demonstrated three levels of his writing system side by side. That structural idea of graduated connectivity became the organising principle for the family, allowing typographers to mix styles across a coherent formal range. With 512 glyphs across 24 styles, it offers a breadth suited to building layered, historically inflected typographic systems.

Classification

Based on a Hungarian handwriting system ('Zsinórírás') by Ignác Luttor, ranging from unconnected printed letterforms to connected cursive. The family bridges script and semi-script styles, making it a handwriting-inspired script family.
