About Rolphie Font Family


Rolphie can be your go-to sans-serif, with 16 easy-to-read weights and 10 versions for each weight, and the subtlety of choice that represents. The versions contained in each weight are: Regular; Condensed; Half-Condensed; Expanded; Small Capitals: and their italic counterparts. (At heavier weights particularly it seemed to be justified to have two Condensed versions). Plus there's 20 funky versions with the letters all shook up (that would make a good title for a song), or jumbled around, plus some Shadow, Doubled-Up, College, and other FX versions.


In total there's 180 variations, giving a comprehensive selection of both standard and funky fonts, and that subtle degree of choice of weight. To make things easier, the weights are put in ascending numerical order from 01 to 16, and the FX versions have been stuck in the 80s and 90s, (like two musicians I know).


There are grouped packages available for certain weights (which have 10 fonts in them) and the complete family package (180 fonts) which represent better value than the individual fonts, and there's a basic package containing the Normal and Italic versions of all 16 weights (32 fonts). A limit of 5 sub-family packages has been imposed, unfortunately, which precludes a more comprehensive selection.


To let you know what's in the font that you might otherwise never know about . . .


With Discretionary Ligatures on, you get special characters if you type Mc St. Rd. Bd. Ave. c/o No. (p) (P) - include the full-stop/period.


With Stylistic Alternates switched on, you get plenty of extra characters - including a WiFi symbol (type Wifi or WiFi) / bullet numbers instead of ordinary numbers / that different U-dieresis / special characters for c/o No. Mc / an upside down ~ / a huge bullet, and different forms for cent, dollar, percent, per-thousand.


As you'd expect, there's all the accented characters for all Western European scripts using Latin letters, and standard ligatures, plus other Open Type features including Class Kerning, Slashed-Zero, Historical Forms, Sub- and Superscript numbers, fractions for halves, thirds and quarters, Ornamental forms giving bullet numbers, etc. There's also the main mathematical operators, symbols like card-suits and male/female signs and so on, and some more obscure stuff like schwa and O-horn, U-horn - and there's lots more if you can Access All Alternates. Much will depend on what your software recognises.


The Small Caps versions have (intentionally) lost the ligatures for lower case ff, fi, fj, fl, fr, fu, ffi, ffj, ffl, ffr, ffu.


The names for the weights are not absolute - we had to make up some names to make them stretch out to sixteen - so rather - see them as relative to each other, being in ascending numerical order by weight.

About Aah Yes

Aah Yes Fonts presents 10 brand-new and original font families, including Dascari, a funky and informal yet highly-readable font that would suit a large variety of modern graphics situations; and Cabragio which is a curvy font which flows attractively and dynamically, especially in its lower case letters, and is a quite distinct font. Deltarbo is a conventional medium-heavy sans-serif that has modern clean lines and a slightly "rounded-rectangle" feel for great legibility. There are two handwriting fonts in this new selection - Write is a fairly neat (perhaps even formal) handwriting font or print, useable for both display and text with clear and well-defined characters, and Dorkihand is genuinely left-handed writing, and veers more towards the grunge style of handwriting. Tuzonie, Crockstomp and Rappica fall into the "misprinted, degraded or distressed" category, and give varying degrees of degradation to different block types, with internal and external letter-distress being available. Smeethe manages to look almost out of focus while being both degraded and yet smooth, but not so degraded as to impair its legibility. Meltifex puts at the user's disposal a full set of melting letters, which drip away at the bottom. Dascari and Write have been created in an extensive variety of weights and styles. All Aah Yes's Fonts' font packages contain both TTF or OTF formats, (i.e. both formats are included in the same zip file) and all the fonts are - as you would expect - comprehensively kerned, and contain an extensive selection of accented and non-English characters. As far as the Font Authors are aware, the invented font names are all quite meaningless, none of them is something unspeakable in Etruscan or Hittite. (But if they are, please let us know.)
