Zetafonts is very glad to announce that Monterchi Type Family is a Winner of the 2020 Typography Competition sponsored by Communication Arts. 

One hundred and thirty-one projects were selected by a jury of creative professionals; 1,264 entries were submitted to the competition. The selected projects are handsomely reproduced in Typography Annual 10, the January/February 2020 issue of Communication Arts, both in print and digital editions, and online at commarts.com. With the largest international circulation of any trade journal on visual communications, having work selected is considered a significant professional milestone to the creators and publishers of these award-winning projects.

About Monterchi
Monterchi type family was created for the rebranding of one of the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, the “Madonna del Parto” fresco by Piero della Francesca. His hand-painted autograph inscriptions inspired the elegant letterforms and the quirky ligature forms included in the four variants of this 50-weights ode to the beauty of classical roman letterforms. With his elegant, historical aesthetic, Monterchi embodies the spirit of early Renaissance and the humanist obsession with geometric beauty, while providing designers with over a versatile extended glyph set covering over 200 languages using the Latin alphabet, as well as Greek and Russian Cyrillic.
