+Rhodium Libre was designed for use on screens at small sizes and the Latin and Devanagari scripts. +To that end, the design is generally uncomplicated and coarse, lacking the small details that are lost on screens; this also reduces the file size to improve latency when used as a web font. +The letters are designed slightly wide, with open counters, a large x-height in the Latin glyphs, and so on. +The Devanagari glyphs are the same height as the Latin capitals to allow them to stand alongside the oversized Latin lowercase. +
+ ++Historical models for Rhodium’s design are Fortune (AKA Volta) by Konrad Bauer and Walter Baum, and Rex by Intertype. +Matthew Carter’s Verdana provided insight into designing type for small sizes and adverse reading environments. +
+ ++The Devanagari glyph set supports contemporary Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali. +The Latin glyph set supports Adobe’s Latin-3 character set. +
+ ++This project is led by Dunwich Type Founders, a type foundry based in Denver, Colorado, USA, who design contemporary typeface families. +To contribute, see github.com/DunwichType/RhodiumLibre +
