Monzonite
Inspiration for Monzonite came from the Salt Lake City Utah Mormon Temple. On the east side of the temple, there is a stone carving known as the “Holiness to the Lord,” created by Brother John Rowe Moyle. On the temple carving, there are many variations of type ranging from slab serifs to geometric condensed sans serifs. I decided to create Monzonite as a semi-slab serif based on the words LORD, Church, and Saints found on the carving. If viewing the carving carefully at the words LORD, there are rounded letter forms as well as faceted. This was the inspiration for Monzonite Quirk. I wanted to create a type face that not only references Brother Moyle’s letter forms, but has two versions of a type face that can have glyphs seamlessly interchange between rounded and faceted versions.
