Remontoire
PSY/OPS Type Foundry · Stefan Hattenbach
Stefan Hattenbach completed this humanist serif from unfinished sketches by Swedish type designer Karl-Erik Forsberg, producing a sturdy four-style family with a companion Small Caps and Old Style Figures cut.
About
Forsberg, best known for Berling, left behind sketches for an unrealised typeface that Hattenbach developed into Remontoire. The family covers Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic, with Western and Eastern European character sets, stylistic alternates and ligatures throughout. A dedicated SCOSF font extends the family's typographic range for refined text setting.
Classification
A humanist serif rooted in mid-century Scandinavian lettering tradition, drawing on Karl-Erik Forsberg's unpublished sketches. The description of 'sturdy and sophisticated' points to a robust humanist structure with classical proportions.
