ABOUT

Jónas Valtýsson

Icelandic graphic designer, b. Reykjavik. He created the fat finger typeface Skar (2006) and designed many music album covers. About his experimental typeface Morthens (2007), he writes: Morthens is a strict script display typreface. The brief was to find a type typeface and design another typeface based on that. I decided to use a script typeface called Vitrina by Pablo Medina. I used it because I liked the method he uses creating his typefaces. He takes picture of his urban surroundings and bases his typefaces on them. I created a typeface based on the most prominent thing in my urban surrounding at the moment which is construcion sites. It has three weights called Ásbjörn, Þorlákur and Haukur.
