Best Fonts That Haven’t Been Overused, part 4: Misto

Jul 24

Misto by Katerina Korolevtseva is a stylish display font reminiscent of mid-centrury designs. Combining Misto, some doodles and a mid-century color palette will give your work some instant retro vibes.

Interestingly, Misto was inspired by the Ukrainian city of Slavutych, which, according to Wikipedia, was

purposely built for the evacuated personnel of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the 1986 disaster that occurred near the city of Pripyat

I’ve tried to create two quick designs, one showcasing the midcentury character I was describing before and another trying a bit more haute couture-ish, since the high contrast of the strokes does bring Bodoni and Didonesque stuff to mind.
