Typography is the design and arrangement of the simple graphic glyphs that embody language. A typeface conveys tone and emotion, often before a single word is read. Each character is shaped by centuries of use, misuse, and reinvention; these glyphs aren’t static, they mutate to reflect shifts in culture and technology. Type carries the fossil imprints of its evolution: the serifs of the Roman chisel, the flourish of pen on parchment, and more recently, the mechanical construction of pixels and Bézier curves. The anatomy of a typeface – its ascenders, bowls, terminals, x-height – operates as a kind of dialect; a grotesque sans and a humanist serif speak with very different inflections. Typography is rarely neutral – it encodes values like reliability, luxury, rebellion, sincerity, intimacy. True geometry rarely reads well to the human eye. Letters must often be subtly distorted to look correct. Circular letters like “O” overshoot the baseline and cap height to appear optically aligned; vertical and horizontal strokes differ in thickness to appear equal. These imperceptible adjustments are foundational to good type design.

Urbane Rounded Character Set
About
Urbane Rounded is a curved, friendly version of Urbane, a versatile all-purpose sans-serif family of six weights plus italics. Urbane is a versatile all-purpose sans-serif family of seven weights plus italics. It explores the same idea-space as early geometric modernist sans such as Futura, Vogue, Spartan and Tempo, with Futura’s classic single-story a and alternative forms for the R, r and t. Unlike its predecessors, Urbane has a contemporary high x-height which affords it an even colour in running text, and slightly condensed bowls that allow for visually even letter widths. Suitable for both headlines and text. Includes a full international character set, lining, tabular and old-style numerals.
Urbane Rough is a distressed version of Urbane, giving it an urgency and immediacy reminiscent of photo copied flyers or inky printing.
Urbane Adscript is a monoline, semi-linking script family with weights that match the Urbane family. The capitals come in two or three variants that can be chosen from the Opentype panel according to taste.
