Documents referring to this product ...
This font family consists of four versions of RotisŪ, named by Otl Aicher after the village in the Allgäu where he has lived since 1972. Aichers goal was to design a family of fonts which could serve almost any typographical purpose. RotisŪ gives an impression of both strength and generosity and all four versions can be used interchangeably with one another. RotisŪ is suitable for books/text, documentation/business reports, business correspondence, magazines, newspapers, posters, advertiments, [...]

Otl Aicher named his typeface Rotis after the small village in southern Germany where he has lived since 1972. The goal was to create an aesthetic type family which could fulfil a variety of typographic requirements. The result: a remarkable sans serif and a reserved antiqua with a total of 17 weights which combine extremely well with one another.
This unification of two classic forms was almost revolutionary in 1988. Over centuries, designers had strictly avoided blending serif with sans [...]
About RotisŪ Sans Serif 45 Light ...
Designer: Otl Aicher, 1988
RotisŪ Sans Serif 45 Light belongs to the RotisŪ Sans Serif Font Family which is part of the Monotype Originals.
RotisŪ is a comprehensive family group with Sans Serif, Semi Sans, Serif, and Semi Serif styles, for a total of 17 weights including italics. The four families have similar weights, heights and proportions; though the Sans is primarily monotone, the Semi Sans has swelling strokes, the Semi Serif has just a few serifs, and the Serif has serifs and strokes with mostly vertical axes. Designed by Otl Aicher for Agfa in 1989, Rotis has become something of a European zeitgeist. This highly rationalized yet intriguing type is seen everywhere, from book text to billboards. The blending of sans with serif was almost revolutionary when Aicher first started working on the idea. Traditionalists felt that discarding serifs from some forms and giving unusual curves and edges to others might be something new, but not something better. But Rotis was based on those principles, and has proven itself not only highly legible, but also remarkably successful on a wide scale. Rotis is easily identifiable in all its styles by the cap C and lowercase c and e: note the hooked tops, serifless bottoms, and underslung body curves. Aicher is a long-time teacher of design and has many years of practical experience as a graphic designer. He named Rotis after the small village in southern German where he lives. RotisŪ is suitable for just about any use: book text, documentation, business reports, business correspondence, magazines, newspapers, posters, advertisements, multimedia, and corporate design.
