Nova Horst

Nova Horst is the amplified version of Horst, a highly original typeface based on etchings by the extraordinary artist and printmaker Horst Janssen.

Nova Horst keeps all the amazing wilderness of the original font, while enriched with sharp OpenType programming, plus a whole new set of alternates, a handy set of ornaments and loads of cool and unpredictable overlapping glyphs. Language support was also expanded.

Now there are 5 sets of letters, 2 sets of numerals and a robust set of discretionary ligatures. OpenType functionalities now include an extremely playful Contextual Alternates feature, Discretionary Ligatures and Stylistic Alternates.

Nova Horst is an energizing blend of eccentric characters, cool OpenType features, loads of alternates and a meticulous kerning table. But be warned: as the original font, this one is quite addictive!

A QUICK ROADMAP

• ALL FEATURES TURNED OFF: you can choose different letterforms stored on upper- and lowercase sets. There will be no overlapping letters.

• CONTEXTUAL ALTERNATES ON: you get alternating characters from 4 sets of glyphs, with loads of overlapping letters and a nice random effect on glyphs distribution.

• DISCRETIONARY LIGATURES ON: now some additional glyphs enter the scene. There are more than 60 ligatures glyphs to substitute pairs of letters for some extra-coolness.

• STYLISTIC ALTERNATES ON: access the counterless glyphs from the Stylistic Alternates set.
