Muriza
A modest slab with temptious curves — for clear and economic typography
Dialect, the element which soul takes breath.
Die erste Schrift dieser Art wurde 1817 vom englischen Schriftenschneider Vincent Figgins entworfen. Der Entwerfer selbst taufte sein Versalalphabet noch Antique, der von ihm begonnene neue Schriftstil wird heute jedoch als Egyptienne bezeichnetet und charakterisiert sich durch eine starke Betonung der Serifen und einem sehr geringen Strichstärkenkontrast.
Neben der kräftigen Reklameschrift entwickelte sich kurz darauf ein Modell, das die Form der Egyptienne zurück zur Nutzung in Fließtextgrößen überführte. Die von Robert Besley mit Benjamin Fox entwickelte Clarendon stellt die Grundlage für das Ionic Model, das sich sowohl im Lesetext von Zeitungen als auch in großen Headlines bewährt hat.

A modest slab serif with tempting curves, Muriza is rooted in Styria and its name is dedicated to a region of soft rocks, forested mountains, narrow valleys and clear air.

Its clear and economic typographic forms are linked to peculiar shapes — like curved spurs instead of serifs — combining the pragmatic with the refreshing and unique. Muriza is for space-saving text and headlines with a rational air and gentle flair; rounded dots and lively Italics balance out its monolinear strokes and blocky serifs.

Muriza has range. Suitable for advertising and branding, packaging and publishing; and even wayfinding, that needs something more than a clean Sans but does not want to feel antique.

With a range of nine well graded weights — from delicate Hairline to sturdy Black — and a conventional but distinctive Italic, Muriza can fulfil almost every typographic wish. Dingbats, arrows and OpenType features like oldstyle figures, small caps and stylistic alternates supplement Muriza’s broad Latin language support.
