The book ‘Love and the Mess we’re in’ by Stephen Marche which was published by Gaspereau Press won the highest honour for book design in Canada, taking first place in the fiction category of the 2013 Alcuin Design Awards. It uses our typeface Huronia by the Canadian designer Ross Mills. As the publisher says: “… incredibly versatile and robust Huronia [that] carried this book through its many twists and turns, page after page”. Read more on the Gaspereau Press’ blog. In case you do not know them, in our humble opinion GP is one of the finest publishers you can find – solid craftsmanship!

We love the 8 Faces magazine. The latest issue contains interviews with Simon Walker, Dan Rhatigan, Seb Lester, Nina Stössinger, Grant Hutchinson, Mike Kus, and Eric Olson and Nicole Dotin of Process Type. In addition there are essays from Christopher Murphy, Leo Koppelkamm, and Typekit’s Tim Brown, and an introduction by Craig Mod. And in addition to that each printed copy ships with Rosetta Type Specimen No. 1 bundled in! You should be ordering now. It gets sold out very quickly.

We have released Huronia, a new type family by Ross Mills. It is a text face with flavour, suitable for extended reading. Huronia supports fully-equipped Latin Pro (that is it includes expert features: small caps, various figure sets, superiors, fractions) and Inuktitut syllabics. But these are just the first steps in a march towards supporting all of the native American languages in one type family. Read more about this handsome typeface on a dedicated page and in its PDF specimen.

Skolar, designed by David Březina, will be moving home from TypeTogether to Rosetta from 1 April. Having all of Skolar’s scripts available in one place will consolidate Rosetta’s library and simplify licensing of the family. As the family expands, we hope it will also enable the flagship typeface to explore new territories. Some distributors (MyFonts, FontShop) have already made the transfer and others will follow in due course.
Rosetta is committed to providing continuous updates and support to all customers, no matter where they bought their previous versions. Let us know if you have any questions or simply stay in touch to receive our news.

In 2012 Jenny Stuttard, a Graphic Design student at Liverpool John Moores University, contacted David Brezina with a few questions about how we create harmony between different writing systems, and how we determine it as successful. She also wanted to know to what extent Latin typography had influenced non-Latin type design.
Type design has become virtualized, one-man/woman profession. Besides many benefits (such as working in pyjamas all day) it can also make type people feel detached and lose touch with a wider context of their work. At Rosetta we do not subsbcribe to that…
From the beginning, Skolar has been a type family which chose to cross boundaries, of languages first, then writing systems, and now it has been complemented, after Cyrillic, Greek, Devanagari, and Gujarati, with a beer! Providing typographers with an unprecedented tool fostering their expressive repertoire.
We have published our second poster. This time it presents the beautiful Nassim. It is free, you pay only the shipping costs.
