We’re redesigning our in-house magazine and I’m interested in getting some recommended fonts for headlines/subheads. We have to use Rotis Semi Sans for the body copy (corporate style and all) but what we use for headings is open. The design/content of the magazine is fairly straight and serious, but we’re looking to make it a little cleaner, sharper and more contemporary while still maintaining its professional (somewhat straightlaced) positioning.
Any suggestions?
I suggest not using Rotis Semi Sans for text. Use it for your Headlines only. Its not a text face.
Unfortunately that’s not really an option...Rotis Semi Sans is pretty much a dictate. All of our publications use Rotis Semi Sans for text and it can’t be changed.
That’s a hard match to find...
Why not use the Semi-Serif cut?
hhp
a condensed sans like DIN or Trade Gothic.
you can also use another Rotis weight(em)i think that’s what Rotis is all about.
regarding rotis, i just used it in a project and the font that i have has really funky spacing and i had to spend a lot of time kerning (more than other fonts).
has anyone had a similar experience with Rotis?
