THE INSPIRATION The font Mostro is unique and innovative, just like it’s namesake. “Mostro” was inspired by DJ Mostro, a native to Denver, Colorado, and a musical innovator. His music is electronic, exciting and gives off great energy.

It only made sense to create the font with the exact same influences.

A NOTE ON THE TYPE The text in this book was set in Century Gothic and Mostro. “Century Gothic is a design based on 20th Century, which was drawn by Sol Hess between 1936 and 1947.. Its design is influenced by the geometric style sans serif faces which were popular during the 1920s and 30s, and by the desire to give it widths compatible with ITC Avant Garde Gothic.

Century Gothic is very practical for headlines and general display work and for small quantities of text, particularly in advertising.�. (typedia.com). Mostro was created in November of 2012 by Graphic Designer, Carly Dutch-Greene.
