Conto is a clear and decreased sans serif typeface in 8 weights (upright, italic). It is mainly developed for corporate identity together with the editorial style and advertising. A special set of ligatures make the fonts extremely useful for logo type and lettering. The elegant Thin and the strong Black weights are working well in display typography, while the Routine, Medium and Vibrant weights are suggested to stay well in text and tables.

Main particular are the minimalistic and reduced lowercase shapes (a/b/d/ g/m/n/ p/q/r/ u). Another specific feature is the increasing contrast. Whereas you can not discover any contrast in the Thin weight, you will discover a growing number of contrast while climbing up to Black.

Conto's unique ligatures are produced logo-types and lettering. For that reason you discover Discretionary Ligatures like ‘‘ r_a,' ‘‘ e_i,' ‘ s_t_u' or ‘ r_i' and much more!!! Try the OT-feature ss01. Perhaps there is something good for your next logo.

Conto includes around 880 glyphs and supports all latin-script based languages. It likewise consists of small-caps and all kind of figures you need for serious typography. Of course you have case and small-cap sensitive punctuation and fractions approximately 1/9 (oneninth).

Nils Thomsen began to draw Conto in 2008. It is motivated by the lonely streets of north scandinavia and the dark forrest around. While biking through the nature and drinking water from rivers the idea of a basic geometric typeface was born.

In remembrance of Peter Bruhn! Really Conto should be released at the water fountain foundry. During my studies in The Hague I interviewed Peter. The interview is gathered in the book 158 responses. Towards this we had a nice exchange about my typeface. After some corrections he decided to launch Conto. Thanks you for your help, Peter !!!
