MeaveCrafted in the very best tradition of the geometric sans-serif, Rondana is a typographic tribute to the retro-futuristic visual appeals of the 1960s and 70s, along with an exercise in pureness of line.
However, its spirit is distinctly non-bauhausian, considering that its strokes deliberately differ the dull, apparent, ruler-and-compass construction; its arcs and curves being much more complicated, tending towards a somewhat square shape, imbued with subtle modulations. This summarize to a more organic, streaming, extroverted personality than the one just anticipated from using plain, basic geometry.
Another function is the conscious use of non-standard shapes for many indications, that are quite readable but somewhat unforeseen, such as the E, the g and the ampersand; making Rondana an outstanding display face and likewise providing a specific taste to the text made up in it, especially in its italic variations-- which are, by the method, designer italics in their own right and not just an oblique variation of the roman.
Rondana comes in twelve variants consisting of a large spectrum of weights, enabling an extremely diverse series of expression.
