Studio Rene Bieder · René Bieder

About
Vitruv Headline sits in the middle tier of a Roman-themed type system that includes Vitruv Poster and Vitruv Text, each optimised for different size ranges. The family runs across six weights from Thin to Black, all with matching italics, giving twelve styles in total. The naming of individual styles after figures and concepts of antiquity — Augustus, Alexandria, Romanum — reinforces the classical framing of the design.
Classification
The Roman-themed naming conventions and headline orientation suggest a classical serif with transitional proportions, designed for display use at larger sizes within a three-part optical size system.
