Margaret Neue specimen from Cinketype

A revival of Zoltán Nagy's award-winning 1966 Hungarian display typeface, expanded by Tibor Szikora and released in 2023 with plans for a matching cursive.

About

Originally designed by Zoltán Nagy and recognised at the 1966 International Type Face Design Competition — judged by Paul Rand and Herb Lubalin — Margaret Neue brings the Hungarian design back into active use. The current release comprises five styles across a compact glyph set of 112 characters, still at an early version. Szikora intends to complete the cursive companion that Nagy began but never finished.

Classification

A revival and expansion of Zoltán Nagy's award-winning 1960s Hungarian display typeface, suggesting a decorative or stylised serif intended primarily for display use rather than continuous text.
