ABC Otto is a cheerful text typeface available in four considered weights. Otto has a sturdy, wide rhythm and beautifully lilting italics. It can also cosplay as a display face, with its subtly cartoonish presence and anthropomorphic shapes. Designed by Sam de Groot and Laura Opsomer Mironov, it began as an irreverent remix of the 17th-century type of Miklós Kis, but over the years it gradually metamorphosized into something of its own. With its much larger x-height, its round evenness rather than Kis's stern jaggedness, and its occasionally top-heavy proportions, Otto is a proudly ahistorical design. The italics are an entirely new design — bubbly, dynamic in rhythm, and strongly varying in slope.
