LL Riforma Mono VIP
Lineto · NORM (Dimitri Bruni, Manuel Krebs, Ludovic Varone) · 2024
A monospaced companion to LL Riforma by Zürich studio NORM, released in 2024 to mark the studio's 25th anniversary, with full Unicode box-drawing character support.
About
Drawn by Dimitri Bruni, Manuel Krebs and Ludovic Varone of NORM, the family extends LL Riforma's geometric construction into a unified-width format, squeezing and expanding letterforms to fill their fixed boxes while retaining the original's graphic weight and readability at small sizes. The confidently prolonged serifs and crossbars introduce subtle playfulness within a tightly regulated system, and the softer overall texture distinguishes it from its predecessor. A full set of Unicode box-drawing and block-element characters nods to early digital semigraphics, now repurposed for contemporary typographic use.
Classification
A monospaced companion to the geometric sans LL Riforma, with boxy proportions and a large x-height; classified as mono due to unified character width and inclusion of Unicode box-drawing characters.
