Ramon

Quite some years ago I designed a lower case sans serif concept. Along with the design work I wrote down my thoughts and decisions from character to character. This documentation was published in the online magazine Encore and you can find it on this page when you scroll down. (german for now) Actually I was not entirely satisfied with the lower case letters. Every now and then I went on with it till it reached the level of character and quality I wanted for it. Now it is clearly a text typeface and therefore it needed a text italic. Not only slanted but with it's own character and rhythm in the family. I would even go that fare, that Ramon will cary your reading threw an entire novel. The weight system starts with body copy. Light, Book, Regular and Medium. Semibold, Bold and Heavy are made for text size headlines. They are still open enough to work in small sizes. Extrabold and Ultrabold makes the warm dark display range for bigger headlines. Ramon has got a static upright sans stroke with soft terminals. But the italic has got slab serif elements. It gives the italic a different structure in text. Ramon has a little stylistic set that has some of the elements of the italic in the roman. In the standard set the main figures are tabular but with a proportional old style figure set as a feature. Traditional and stylistic ligatures are also part of the feature set.
