Hot Type [Marko Hrastovec] Ex-student of Nikola Djurek at the School of design in Zagreb, class of 2014. At Typonine, Nikola Djurek and Marko Hrastovec co-designed the several-hundred-style rich Audree type system in 2013. They write: Applying different parameters to same basic shapes isn't new, but Typonine.com's online application allows you to access each possible permutation and create your own version of Audree. The value isn't only aesthetic, but also didactic---by experimenting with serifs, construction and contrasts, one can learn how these variables affect the shape of the letter. Audree's many different, striking combinations make it a perfect fit for display purposes such as magazine headlines, logotypes or entire visual identity systems. One can choose along many axes: 145 serif styles, expansion or not, two choices of contrast, and for styles (normal, inline, stencil, stencil-inline). Discussion by the typophiles. In 2016, he designed Zico and Zico Display at Rosetta Type. Earlier, in the TypeMedia program at KABK in Den Haag, he designed Bolid Slab for his graduation in 2015. That typeface was at the basis of Zico. Zico won an award at TDC 2016TDC 2016. His Punta Display (a sharply sculpted serif family with typographic features that look like they could be carved in stone) won an award at the Type Directors Club's Type Design Competition 2019. In 2021, he set up Hot Type and designed the playful serif typeface Nyck, a fun display family inspired by the equally playful work of Josef Tyfa (Tyfove Antikva) and William Addison Dwiggins. Nyck features two variable fonts as well. Other fonts from 2021 include Stroy Grotesk (a narrow grotesk newspaper sans in 12 styles billed as a contemporary interpretation of nostalgia) and Stroy Mono. Tumblr link. Twitter link.
