ABOUT







Mona Franz

During her studies in Nuremberg, Germany, Mona Franz (now in Munich, Germany) created the refreshing monolinear grotesque typeface Franz Sans (2014-2016).

In 2017, she started the TypeMedia program at KABK in Den Haag, and graduated in 2018 with an editorial typeface called Bridge, which was subsequently released by Typemates in 2019 as a 28-style collection, split into Bridge Head and Bridge Text subfamilies.

In 2021, Mona Franz and Jakob Runge published the sans families Gratimo Grotesk, Gratimo Classic, Grato Grotesk and Grato Classic at Typemates. Consulting on Cyrillic by Ilya Ruderman and Yury Ostromentsky. They write: Grato and Gratimo are a system of typefaces joined by geometry but differing in genre and function. Grato's geometric core is shared by two designs with different terminals and different uppercase proportions to make a Grotesk and a Classic. And, for greater function and economy, both were redrawn for text and interface: Gratimo Grotesk and Gratimo Classic. [...] Grato is a family of two typefaces, modernist Grotesk and the humanist voice of the Geometric Suite Classic. A timeless typeface, it combines a pure, present voice with idiosyncrasy and luxury. Ignoring most calligraphic conventions, Grato is shaped by pure forms, low stroke modulation and square dots that contrast with almost perfect circles. Grato Classic pursues the classical proportions of early British geometric typefaces, while Grotesk inherits the industrial logic of early German ones. The result is a family of quirks and clarity, a substantial family for identity and editorial work. Grato includes a spectrum of nine weights, from fine hairlines to super heavy blacks.
