Bureau Roffa

NEW RELEASE!

It has been five years, three months, and six days since I last released a typeface. In that time, I finished my bachelor’s and master’s degree, and started a PhD in Cognitive Psychology. Unfortunately, that also means that the time I can spend on type design and running Bureau Roffa is limited.

I am very thankful that the great people at Bold Monday were willing to share their expert eyes, pushed me to improve Goldich beyond my own imagination, and eventually released it today! I am honored that Goldich has already been awarded a Certificate of Typographic Excellence from the Type Directors Club, but for me, the real reward will be in seeing it in use. I hope that Goldich will be a joy to work with, and I am very much looking forward to seeing your designs. Please do send me your images, questions, and thoughts!

Bold Monday regards itself as the typographical equivalent of a so called “indie” record company. It is the place where the love for beautiful typography, a do-it-yourself mentality and a keen eye for high production values meet.

Proza Libre being used to great effect on ilovetypography :)

When books began to be printed in the fifteenth century, scribes were not immediately made redundant.

Seraphs is the latest brainchild of Bernd Volmer. It was born out of an ambitious idea: bringing together a patchwork type family of 18 different styles (and many more possible interpolations) into one variable font “dynasty” file. The Seraphs family is available in three weights including light...
