Dalton Maag, exclusively distributed by FontShop, recently updated their popular Aktiv Grotesk family to include Greek and Cyrillic language support. It is now available in a few versions:
- Corporate (Western, Central/Eastern European, Cyrillic, and Greek)
- Greek (Western, Central/Eastern European, and Greek)
- Cyrillic (Western, Central/Eastern European, and Cyrillic)
- Standard (Western and Central/Eastern European)
Here’s a bit about Aktiv Grotesk from our November 2010 Newsletter:
Helvetica may be the world’s most popular typeface but one man is having none of it. Type designer Bruno Maag of Dalton Maag views the ubiquitous modernist typeface’s popularity with a mixture of bemusement and irritation. So he has decided to do something about it. With the Dalton Maag team he has created Aktiv Grotesk, a typeface designed to provide an alternative (and, he hopes, improvement) to Helvetica.
One Comment
This typeface looks well balanced and crafted, and more consistent across scripts than Helv/Arial. I like it a lot, well done!
