Roquefort
displaydisplay sans
A bold display typeface from Polytype, named after the celebrated French cheese favoured by Emperor Charlemagne.
About
Roquefort sits at the heavier, more expressive end of Polytype's catalogue, offered in a single Strong weight intended for headline and display use. The page highlights OpenType features alongside cut geometric glyph variants, suggesting attention to typographic detail within a deliberately limited palette. Its naming nods to the French cheese dubbed 'the cheese of kings and popes', lending the face a certain grandeur in its positioning.
Classification
The page classifies it under 'Strong' with geometric cut-in letterforms suggested by the diamond glyph indicators, pointing to a bold display typeface rather than a text face.
