Roos was designed by Sjoerd de Roos, Patrick Griffin, Hans van Maanen and published by Canada Type. Roos includes 10 styles and household plan choices. p > The Roos family is a digitization and growth of the last typeface developed by Sjoerd Hendrik De Roos, called De Roos Romein (and Cursief). It was designed and produced during the years of the 2nd World War, and revealed in the summer season of 1947 to celebrate De Roos's 70th birthday. In 1948, the very first typefaces produced were utilized for a scandal sheet of the Dutch Constitution on which Juliana took the oath throughout her inauguration as the Queen of the Netherlands. To this day this typeface is commonly related to as De Roos's best design, with among the most beautiful italics ever drawn.

In contrast with all his previous roman faces, which were based upon the Jenson model, De Roos's last type recalls the letter forms of the Renaissance, specifically those of Claude Garamont from around 1530, but with a much refined and elegant treatment, with stems sloping towards the ascending, slightly cupped serifs, a tall and distinguished lowercase, and a financial width that truly shines in the amazing italic, which harmonizes incredibly well with its roman partner.

The Roos family includes romans, italics and small caps in regular, semibold and show weights, as well as a spectacular set of preliminary caps. All the fonts contain extended language support, surpassing the normal Western Latin codepages to include characters for Central and Eastern European languages, in addition to Baltic, Celtic/Welsh, Esperanto, Maltese, and Turkish.
