ABOUT







Ong Chong Wah

Born in Malaysia in 1955. His type designs include

  • Mahsuri Sans (Monotype). Characterized by an awkward spiky italic f. Why?
  • Ocean Sans (1993). Designed in 1993 by Chong Wah of Monotype, Ocean Sans is a two-axis multiple master typeface that ranges from normal to extended in width, and light to extra bold in weight.
  • Footlight (1986, Monotype).
  • Abadi (1987, Monotype), a sans serif.
  • Delima (1993, Monotype). A sans serif.
  • Chong Old Style (2009) and Chong Modern (2009), two beautiful sans families: Chong Modern is a sans serif interpretation of the classic modern, or neoclassical, designs of Bodoni and Didot. More than a Bodoni without serifs, Chong Modern also has an elegant, Art Deco demeanor, according to Monotype. It has a bit of the Peignot feel. Chong Old Style is a sans family in the tradition of Goudy Old Style.
  • Bookman Old Style (Monotype). A digital version of Morris Fuller Benton's classic.
