Rossa specimen from ParaType

A humanist sans with equal horizontal and vertical stroke weights and strictly orthogonal terminals, designed for legibility at small sizes on screen while producing a subtly reversed contrast at display sizes.

About

Alexandra Korolkova's Rossa is proportioned with interface use in mind, making it well-suited to UI contexts and small-size conditions. The uniform stroke thickness and purely horizontal or vertical terminals aid on-screen rendering whilst creating a distinctive optical character at larger settings. The typeface is currently available as a beta release at a reduced price, with buyers entitled to the full version on release.

Classification

Described explicitly as a humanist sans-serif with interface-oriented proportions. The equal horizontal and vertical stroke thickness and strictly horizontal or vertical terminals give it a slightly reversed contrast, distinguishing it from orthodox humanist designs.
