Typeface of the Month: Rialta

Welcome our new Typeface of the Month: Rialta! It is the latest addition to the Playtype catalog. A do-it-all and intentionally neutral grotesque that perfectly adapts to whatever you throw at it.

Crisp, clean, and contemporary—Rialta draws inspiration from and pays tribute to the multitude of neo-grotesque styles that came before it. Loosely rooted in Swiss design heritage, but without enforcing a strict dogmatic approach in its use of references. With its large x-height and low contrast, it is highly legible and works perfectly as a text typeface, communicating clearly even at small point sizes. It is available in nine different weights, ranging from Thin to Black, with corresponding Italics.

Rialta supports a wide range of OpenType features, including stylistic sets. This provides access to alternate glyph shapes, which adds even more versatility and functionality to this utilitarian typeface.
