About the family


Aldo New Roman (1000+ glyphs, incl. medieval Latin, Cyrillic, some Greek, ornaments, small capitals, nut fractions...) Renaissance antiqua · Venetian types · Venetian serif · Humanist serif · Old style antiqua A modern version of the typeface cut by Francesco Griffo for Venetian printer Aldus Manutius around 1490 AD. Intentionally not the original Griffo / Aldus / Bembo — but the part of the large project on revival and further development (by drawing many additional glyphs, sometimes over 1000) of the 20th century's typewriters’ fonts. Triple pun here :: :: #1 Aldine Roman type; #2 Since it is equalized, modernized version — the parallel to the Times New Roman; #3 He called himself Aldus Pius Manutius Romanus — he was a new Roman during his Renaissance times.

About Indian Summer Studio

Indian Summer Studio was founded in 2001 by Alexander Bobrov as a design & software studio of a full range, incl. logos & identity, book illustrations, web development, web projects & communities, game design. In early 2000s its focus became type design, lettering, calligraphy. Considering that the whole contemporary design is based on a typeface design, written λόγος. One of the main type design fields of the studio is reviving notable historical types (of the 20th century, 19th and further back in history down to antiquity), widely used by civilization before 1990s, when they were replaced by relatively few vector computer fonts and were almost lost among this new vogue, despite their utmost graphical & aesthetical values.
