Renotype, designed by Radim Peško, began as a formal exercise seven years ago. The objective was to create a simple, low-contrast typeface that could serve as an archetype or mould for characters of the Latin alphabet. Based on proportions as they were developed, changed, and established over the centuries, it responds with letter shapes that are not connected to any specific epoch or tool but are instead aesthetically functional—like a bathroom.
The Renotype family includes a variety of styles, going from traditional (Regular, Italic), standardised (Mono), playful (Quasitalic) or speculative (Medieval). These styles do not expand Renotype through weights but rather through the flexibility of its construction and plain character. They are establishing the narration and, at the same time, indicate more possibilities and explorations.
