Matrix II is a total reworking of the original Matrix type household which was developed by Zuzana Licko in 1986.
.The redesign, which started in January 2007, was initiated by the requirement to develop an OpenType variation of Matrix. With the hood open, so to speak, Licko used the chance to make subtle modifications and to tweak much of the existing characters which were created some 20 years ago. The contrast between thick and thin strokes was reduced in some instances, and overshoots were remedied. The width of different characters was changed and regularized. The cross stroke on the f was simplified on most weights. The design of the lower case g was revisited and an alternate single story variation was designed and contributed to the OpenType variation. Seven new font styles were also added to the household: a Semi Narrow, Semi Wide, Semi Tall, Inline Italic, and 3 weights of Italic - a less flamboyant variation of Matrix Script. To plainly set this variation apart from the original Matrix, and to avoid conflict with previous versions, its name was changed to Matrix II.
