Rieven Roman Set | Webfonts
This package includes the fonts Rieven Roman, Rieven Roman Italic, and Rieven Ornaments in Webfont formats (9 font files total).
Designer Steven Skaggs expanded the Rieven family by creating a Roman version that can be used hand-in-hand with its predecessor, Rieven Uncial. Although they share some glyphs in common, the key differences include: replacing the uncial-specific forms in U, a, e, f, and r with more conventional forms. Curved strokes in h, m, n, u, v, and w were revised to be straight. More subtle adjustments were made to g, s, t, et al for consistency with the new roman glyphs.
The accompanying italic works perfectly well with its Roman counterpart, despite being structurally quite distinct from it. Virtually all traces of the uncial forms are removed in the lowercase. Sufficient differentiation between the italic and the upright forms of the Roman has been applied to achieve a balanced contrast in text settings, which allows for more efficient reading.
Use Rieven Roman for lengthier passages of text in magazines, books, and websites. Let the distinctive spirit of Rieven shine in packaging, signage, and games. Use it in tandem with Rieven Uncial for a consistent style, with optimal readability.
Rieven Uncial was awarded a “Certificate of Excellence in Type Design” in the 2010 TDC2.
