Eimantas Paskonis is a type designer from Vilnius, Lithuania, who graduated from Vilnius College of Technology and Design. He created the fat didone typeface Magnola (2011). At the end of 2011, Magnola was renamed Magnel. It has 865 glyphs and about 200 ligatures, swashes and diacritics. Magnel Display followed in 2016. He is working on a poster typeface called Kelmas. Hazelnut Pro (2012) is a beautiful high-contrast rounded poster family. It seems to be a renamed version of Kelmas. Typefaces from 2013 include the titling sans family Neris. Some free weights of Neris. In 2015, Eimantas designed the free German expressionist typeface family Varna. In 2017, he designed Signato, a free signature font with loads of alternates. It is based on the manuscript of the Act of Independence of Lithuania, dated 1918. Grandis (2019) is a large sans family with a techie feel originally intended for video games. Eimantas writes: The font had to be readable while maintaining sci-fi feel and also to not rely on kerning (most video games don't support it). This meant a large x-height, steep diagonals and squared bowls to reduce the amount of white space between letters. |
