Mika Mischler started working on the T-Star Mono Round font in 2001 to create a running text font. In 2002, he adapted the font to a single-spaced font for the index of dgv’s bestseller Los Logos and called it T-Star Mono Round. The corners were rounded to give it more character in big sizes but legible in small for the index. The basic form of the T-Star Mono Round is simple, open and it features several extra characters including those for the web, clients and credits and works especially well in small font sizes.

Hailing from Bern Switzerland, Michael Mischler is a graduate of Schule für Gestaltung Biel where he studied Graphic Design. One of the first graphic designers and editors at Gestalten, Mischler conceived, edited, and designed over 20 publications on various subjects in graphic design, typography, and visual culture throughout his time in Berlin at the publishing house between 1998 and 2006. Mischler co-founded Gestalten Fonts in 2003 and continues to scout out fresh typography talent for the foundry. In 2006, together with Nik Thönen, he also founded the independent font platform Binnenland.ch. He currently lives and works in Bern.

In 2002, I adapted the font to a single-spaced font for the index of dgv’s bestseller Los Logos and called it T-Star Mono Round. I rounded the corners to give it more character in big sizes but keeping its legiblity in small for the index. The basic form of the T-Star Mono Round is simple, open and it features several extra characters including those for the web, clients and credits and works especially well in small font sizes.

What is the ideal usage of your font?
T-Star Mono can be used for headlines, posters and short texts.

Where does the name come from?
The letter “T” defines the horizontal and vertical proportions; the basic structure for a typeface and it’s the simplest letter and recognizable sign. Star because it was my first “text” font that I’ve developed and it just felt like a STAR.

Do you think that too many fonts exist?
No.
