Forte (typeface)


Forte is a script typeface designed by Austrian commercial artist Carl Reissberger in May 8 1962 for the Monotype Corporation. It started in Windows Vista and ended in 8.1.

Design

The idea for the script face came from the study of plants, individual letterforms being inspired by the long stems and furry heads of the reed. It is intended to give a contrast to sans-serif and classical modern types. Adobe suggests the optimal viewing size to 18.0 points.
