Mosonyi
RNS Fonts · Yorlmar Campos · 2018
A four-style text serif designed for Yaruro language dictionaries, developed through the UBA Type Design Master's programme and awarded at Biennial Tipos Latinos 2018.
About
Developed specifically for use in Yaruro language educational materials, Mosonyi includes IPA extensions, indigenous-language ligatures and a broad extended Latin character set to meet the demands of linguistic publishing. The four styles — Regular, Italic, Bold and ExtraBold — are deliberately contrasted to support clear hierarchy within dense dictionary layouts. Its receipt of recognition at Tipos Latinos 2018 reflects both its technical rigour and its cultural specificity.
Classification
A text-oriented serif designed for dictionary and educational use, with deliberate weight contrasts across its four styles to aid legibility and page hierarchy. The extensive glyph set including IPA extensions and indigenous language ligatures points to a humanist approach shaped by linguistic necessity.
