- Self Raised is a serif typeface developed as a revival project, inspired by a letterpress book of the same name printed in Chicago in 1940. Its romantic tone pairs with strong verticality and a strong, dense colour, expressed through its 426 glyphs. Currently available in its Regular weight, it is well suited for reading (its original purpose), particularly at small sizes, as well as for contemporary display applications, without losing its classical charm and distinctive details.
