About
Designed by José Manuel Urós and published by Type-ø-tones, Rothwood runs from Hairline to Ultra across fourteen styles including italics throughout. The weight specimens nod to historical type figures including V. Figgins, Richard Gans and Otto Weisert, suggesting a revival or historically informed approach to the design. The range makes it adaptable across both fine editorial text and heavier display settings.
Classification
The weight range from Hairline to Ultra and the presence of italics across all cuts suggest a classical serif structure with transitional characteristics, typical of historical type revival work referencing figures such as V. Figgins and Richard Gans.
