It has that quality that all truly useful typefaces have: the capacity to get the job done without getting in the way. It is a family bound to have a permanent spot in the font menu, always at the ready for projects (those most common of all) where the typography mustn’t mask the message. MVB Solitaire aspires to be the sort of workhorse that a designer keeps installed on their system at all times. Mark built all the goodies into MVB Solitaire that he would appreciate as a user: case-sensitive punctuation alternate forms that can be invoked individually or together oldstyle and lining figures in both tabular and proportional widths slightly shorter lining figures that don’t stand out in running text, but also cap-height figures for all-cap settings and the ability to speak nearly any Latin-based language. It’s no surprise that this family’s creator, Mark van Bronkhorst, was first a graphic designer before becoming a type designer. Readers will not tire of this type.īehind the useful exterior is an arsenal of thoughtful technical features.
While some “neutral” type is dead the moment the ink hits the page, MVB Solitaire delivers text that feels lively, contemporary, relevant. But practical doesn’t have to mean banal. As a tempered sans serif somewhere between a humanist and a gothic, MVB Solitaire captures a 21st-century neutrality. MVB Solitaire™ epitomizes this universal typographic mandate. Everything else-the fashion of the moment, the allure of individual words and letters-is secondary. But, in the end, any functional typeface worth its salt lives to serve one thing first: the text, the content. Sure, there are frilly fonts that are more art than craft, showy faces that exist merely to call attention to themselves.
