About
Drawn from photographs of the Pro Regeschool entrance at Floris Versterstraat 11 in Amsterdam, the typeface preserves the expressive personality of G.A. Roobol's original hand-lettered signage while eliminating inconsistencies and expanding the character set. Its Art Deco influences make it well suited to posters, film titles and bold identity work. Available in a single style, it is designed to command attention at display sizes.
