BACKGROUND: Aperto blends humanist construction and classical proportions, subtle terminal treatments and an understated flair. The result is an elegant and egalitarian typeface perfectly suited for settings where formality and erudition need not overshadow friendliness. Not surprisingly, this progressive classicism perfectly mirrors Berkeley CA, the city Paul Veres calls home.

BY: PAUL VERES
Paul Veres grew up in New York, attended Pratt and City College, and received his masters at CUNY. Since transplanting to California, he's designed & illustrated for several non-profit organizations, and has painted the signage for the Berkeley Repertory Theatre for over 20 years. A teacher by day and artist by night, his typeface designs grew directly out of his training in, and teaching of calligraphy: "Eventually, working with letterforms developed into the crazy idea that I could create fonts..." He's gone on to publish his graceful pen-based typefaces with AGFA-Monotype, Linotype, and PSY/OPS. Paul resides in a bright, art-filled house in the heart of Berkeley.
