Monoform is a modular display typeface situated between alphabet, pattern, and visual system. The starting point for Monoform was the historic m logo of the German furniture manufacturer Müller Möbelwerkstätten, a design company founded in 1869 and known for the modular, stackable bed Stapelliege (1966) designed by Rolf Heide. Monoform expands a set of combinable geometric elements into letterforms and a complete alphabet. It follows a tradition of modular type systems, with references throughout the twentieth century such as Kombinationsschrift (Josef Albers, 1926), NePo (Albert Auspurg for Schriftguß A.-G. vorm. Brüder Butter, 1934), and Joc Line (Gabriel Fumanal Martinez for Letraset, 1973). Monoform lends itself to a wide range of graphic applications, venturing into territories of Op Art and pattern-making. The Monoform family comes in ten distinct styles and includes both multicolor fonts and standard non-color versions.
