Great article, about the work of one of my favourite designers. Otl is misspelled Olt a few times, though.

New design: “Aicher”…

For a few years now, I have been counting Otl Aicher’s rotis among my favorite typefaces, in particular the thin sans-serif font. I had also been spelling it with an initial capital letter, but I broke that habit. As Wikipedia……

I was first intrigued by Rotis when I saw a good-looking semi-serif type in a german (unsurprisingly!) company. I asked around and they said it was Rotis. I immediately fell in love with its distinct ‘e’ and ‘c’. I also see it around often in posters, and especially in a book my friend just bought: a compilation of questions and answers from askphilosophers.org: “I am, therefore I think” (they also used Mrs Eaves).
Anyway, great post! I’ll be reading more from you.

As a traveler, I’ve always considered an abundance of Rotis to be a strong indicator that I’m probably somewhere in Northern Europe… either Germany or not far from it.

Rotis is one of my all-time favorites. I used it for some packaging I did for Hoover vacuums (you can see it in my work examples).

Hi Cone - Interesting that Rotis is used in street signage in Singapore, I wonder who made this decision in the street signage design. Found this image at flickr, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Appreciated! Great blog btw, subscribed.

I first came in touch with Rotis at Singapore where its used for street signage.

I went on to love the typeface, specifically Rotis Semi Serif, which I also went on to set my thesis in.
