The slabs do really work well with Fertigo. Couldn't help thinking of Museo, but I guess you would lose most of your retro look. Please keep igniting your creative potential ;-) Jos. Hi Jens Ole,

The Fertigo - Rockwell connection is indeed very nice. The slabs do really work well with Fertigo. Couldn’t help thinking of Museo, but I guess you would lose most of your retro look.

Please keep igniting your creative potential ;-)

Thank you for the tip. As you can see on my site, I have chosen a slab serif - ROCKWELL - for now as my company font. I like the cool retro look an I think it's a very legible font with a lot of graphic potential. Keep up your very fine work on type :-) Jens Ole Hi Jos

It's called an oblique. Personally, I don't have any problem with obliques, so long as they are labelled as such. When they masquerade as italics, then I have a problem. Perhaps you have a different version of Moderna? Mine has nothing claiming to be an italic. <img src="http://ilovetypography.com/img/moderna-oblique.gif" /> Jos I'm pleased to hear that. Great news, and well deserved. Stephen
