About
A warm modernist grotesque by François Rappo. Aligned with mid-century grotesque traditions through its horizontal terminals and straightforward stance, Ritmica reveals personality through almost-sealed negative spaces in the a, e and s, which clasp letterform and counterform together and create a hypnotic, almost magnetic texture. Five weights with italics, plus an Upright Variable, Variable and Collection Upright and Italic Variable, give the family a tight editorial range with depth.
