Forte is a script typeface designed by Austrian commercial artist Carl Reissberger on May 8, 1962,[citation needed] for the Monotype Corporation.
Design
[edit | edit source]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.[1] It is intended to give a contrast to sans-serif and classical modern types.[1] Adobe suggests the optimal viewing size to 18.0 points.[2]
