Jure Stojan, 2000–1

Inspired by architecture and hand-lettered posters of the 1940s, Koliba makes a statement that is very 21st century. With an ultra-light weight plus an elegant book and bold, Koliba was designed to be flexible. Fine-tuned with between 2,800 and 3,330 kerning pairs per font, a full Latin glyph complement (with proper Unicoding for Windows TrueType), and Windows TrueType kerning support for designer Jure Stojan's Slovenian mother tongue, Koliba is set to be one of the foundry's best-loved sans serifs.
