Evolving from the richness of handwritings taken out of crosswords, Swono is an uppercase-only monospaced family with various faces and a playful mood.

By collecting, examining and evaluating different sources of completed crossword puzzles, interesting letterforms and peculiarities of the handwritings came to light. These were then categorized, supplemented and unified. The results were then combined into a font family and can now be selected by defined stylesets — changing the cheerful base to a softer, more angular, more aggressive or more complex aesthetic.

Swono is a display typeface from head to toe. Its additional stylesets allow an extremely tight set despite accents or enable proportional spaces. And the 9 weights, over 300 supported latin languages and more than 2100 characters make the type family an effective tool for posters, branding or any expressive design task.
