Conto is a clear and lowered sans serif typeface in 8 weights (upright, italic). It is generally developed for business identity together with the editorial style and advertising. An unique set of ligatures make the fonts really useful for logo type and lettering. The sophisticated Thin and the strong Black weights are working well in screen typography, while the Routine, Medium and Vibrant weights are meant to remain well in text and tables.

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

Conto's special ligatures are made for logo-types and lettering. For that reason you find Discretionary Ligatures like ‘‘ r_a,' ‘‘ e_i,' ‘ s_t_u' or ‘ r_i' and much more!!! Attempt the OT-feature ss01. Possibly there is something good for your next logo.

Conto consists of around 880 glyphs and supports all latin-script based languages. It also consists of small-caps and all kind of figures you need for serious typography. Naturally you have case and small-cap delicate punctuation and portions as much as 1/9 (oneninth).

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

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