Rando Display
Camelot · Maurice Göldner
A display revival of German romanesque typefaces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing on models such as Anker Romanisch and Hamburger Römisch.
About
Designed by Maurice Göldner, Rando Display is one half of a family that also includes a text version, together spanning five weights from Regular to Black with corresponding italics. The reference points are German foundry romanesque types of the Wilhelmine period, a category where multiple foundries issued near-identical designs under competing names. OpenType features include alternate g and t forms, old-style figures, discretionary ligatures and contextual alternates, with character coverage across approximately 250 Latin-based languages.
Classification
Rando is explicitly described as a homage to German romanesque typefaces of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a specific serif subgenre characterised by compact proportions and sturdy strokes distinct from classical old-style or transitional serifs.
