Hello Ronnia

Treated myself to a new font the other day.. (oh the joys of being a graphic designer)

It's a font from the foundry 'typetogether' called Ronnia. Here's what they say about it on their website -

"One of the most remarkable characteristic of this humanistic sans serif is its versatility. Ronnia’s personality performs admirably in headlines, but is diffident enough for continuous text and small text alike, offering a broad range of applications, from newspaper headlines to corporate business reports.
The heavier weights deliver very cohesive shapes, and they have been successfully used for branding and newspaper headlines. Its 28 styles grant the designer a broad range of coherent color and texture variations in text blocks, necessary tools to solve complex information and editorial design problems.
Ronnia has been mainly engineered for newspaper and magazine applications manifested in its properties: economic in use, highly legible, and approaching the reader with some friendliness and charm.
Ronnia was part of the Tipos Latinos exhibition 2008 and the23rd Biennale of Graphic Design 2008 in Brno."

Personally, I think it has great precision and a lovely even weight but without being too digital and cold. It's said to be perfect for editorial use which is good for me as I plan to do plenty of this kind of work in the future. I've only bought the regular so far but I may add the bold and italic to my collection soon.
