Font Designer – Christophe Badani
Linotype Roughâ„¢ was designed in 1999. The family contains nine different typeface styles, each with a slightly different voice. The forms appear to have found a unique middle ground between hand-drawn letters and pure geometry, especially Linotype Rough Outline. Make sure to pay special notice to the true-italic forms in the three italic weights! Badani’s attention to typographic detail is not to be missed.
Linotype Rough is perfect for headlines and display work. The medium and bold weights can also function splendidly in text.
