FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Zkysky [Julieta Ulanovsky] Julieta Ulanovsky graduated from Universidad de Buenos Aires, and presently is a graphic designer based in Montserrat, Buenos Aires. She is owner of ZkySky, a design studio which she co-founded in 1989 with Valeria Dulitzky. She studied Design in UBA (universidad de Buenos Aires) and makes books and fonts with urban thematics. Designer of the free Google Web Font Montserrat (2011) about which she writes: The old posters and signs in the traditional neighborhood of Buenos Aires called Montserrat inspired me to design a typeface that rescues the beauty of urban typography from the first half of the twentieth century. It is close in spirit to Gotham and Proxima Nova, but is more informal and more idiosyncratic. Free at Google Web Fonts (2012) in Regular, Subrayada (underlined) and Alternates styles. Ulanovsky recommends Montserrat as a free alternative for the successful commercial package Proxima Nova by Mark Simonson. In 2019, Terry Nichols released Montserrat Ace, a slight modification. In 2015, her typeface Monserrat was slightly modified by Jasper at Robert Jablonski's foundry / Open Font Library. In 2017, Michael Sharpe placed Montserrat on CTAN and added appropriate TeX support. Argentum Sans (2018) is a free geometric sans forked from Montserrat version 5, courtesy of Cristiano Sobral. In 2018, we find another fork, Sibirtsev Monserrat, on the OFL site. We believe that Alexey Sibirtsev addded Cyrillic support. For a derived font, see Argentum Novus (2020). And for yet another descendant, check Gontserrat (2020, Ospiro Enterprises), which replaces the capital G with one that has a horizontal crossbar. Electric Cable is a display typeface codesigned by Harald Geisler and Julieta Ulanovsky in 2017. In 2020, Julieta Ulanovsky ans Sol Matas co-designed the monoline signage typeface Confiteria, which was influenced by the lettering in the Saint Moritz tea shop in Buenos Aires. It was published by Sudtipos. Earlier in 2020, she created the all caps Tuscan typeface Abasto for a record by Ramon Ayala, and the typeface matrices for the event Matrices, mujeres del diseño.
