Last month's font Friz Quadrata
This typeface is a collaborative creation. Swiss designer Ernst Friz produced the first weight through Visual Graphics Corp. in 1978. Victor Caruso added a bold weight released through ITC. And finally, in 1992, French designer Thierry Puyfoulhoux designed italic weights for both Friz’s original and Caruso’s bold. Famous uses of Friz Quadrata include the titling for the Law & Order TV show franchise and the 2004 MMORPG World of Warcraft.
