Roma Neue
CAST · Stefano Cremisini · 2021
A Swiss-tradition grotesque by Stefano Cremisini, spanning eight weights with slanted italics and a variable font that allows continuous control over slant angle.
About
Designed between 2021 and 2023, it sits squarely in the neo-grotesque lineage of Helvetica and Univers, offering clean, upright forms suited to exhibition design, corporate identity, packaging and wayfinding. The variable font adds a slant axis running from 0° to 16°, while OpenType features include alternate forms for a, g, l, t, G, J and R, old-style figures, tabular figures and a full set of fractions. Over 560 glyphs cover an extensive range of Latin-script languages.
Classification
A neutral, upright grotesque in the Swiss tradition, drawing on 19th-century jobbing types and 20th-century descendants such as Helvetica and Univers. Slanted rather than true italic styles confirm its neo-grotesque lineage.
