Kostic Type Foundry

Mongoose

Thin Light Regular Medium Bold Black
Italics included

Mongoose is a condensed sans serif, created for posters, headlines and logotypes. Its caps and x-height were made to match the ultra-wide Briller, so it could be fun to combine these two highly contrasting type families. The OpenType features for the figures include both tabular and proportional widths, fractions and superior/inferior positions.

Designed by Nikola Kostić.

Six big devils from Japan quickly forgot how to waltz. We promptly judged antique ivory buckles for the next prize. Thin

“Who takin’ the ebonics quiz?”, the prof jovially axed. How razorback jumping frogs can level six piqued gymnasts. Thin Italic

Grumpy wizards make a toxic brew for the jovial queen. Crazy Fredrick bought many very exquisite opal jewels. Light

Sixty zips were quickly picked from the woven jute bag. Jump by vow of quick, lazy strength in Oxford. Light Italic

Big July earthquakes confound zany experimental vow. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. Regular

Foxy parsons quiz and cajole the lovably dim wiki-girl. Crazy Fredrick bought many very exquisite opal jewels. Italic

Of all the things in this world that man has invented, nothing can compare to the alphabet. To be able to send to a friend or acquaintance, far away somewhere in the wide world, one’s thoughts on a piece of paper: to be able to read what others wrote two thousand years ago and to be able to write something that others will be able to read several thousand years later; that is a science almost transcending the bounds of the human mind, and one can say that whoever first invented it, was more God than man. The alphabet has opened the road to the human mind, enabling it to approach God to the limits of its possibilities. It was invented some four thousand years ago, and after its difficult and strange development it has become so easy that today there is no easier skill, and has spread so much in the world that at present in Europe there are peoples among whom there is no one who cannot read and write.
