About RR Opague

Opague is a synthetically distilled postmodern geometric sans. By virtue of a subdued color palette and an almost anonymous tastefulness Opague exults the ability to dominate or submit in either big or small sizes simultaneously. ¶ Opague’s geometry and apertures are a negotiation of historical references¹ and an insatiable appetite for brutal simplicity — not to mimic its past but to extend its future. Opague’s character is shaped by a circular “O” and enforced horizontal lines composed by the apertures and middle height. These punctuated lines are sharp and exacting. They seem to forcefully hold everything in place, as if trying to create a brutal order where none is needed. ¶ These shenanigans span across a wide range of nine weights, each with a corresponding italic at a moderately steep 15° angle. The variable font format expands this 18-style banger into an even greater typographic toolbox, making it an almost infinite kaleidoscope of options beyond the static weights and angles. ¶ Opague doesn’t ask for your approval. It doesn’t demand anything. It simply is. And yet, in its quiet insistence, it forces itself into the spaces where it’s needed. Whether on takeaway lightbox menus or sophisticated wine lists, intricate interface designs or plain headlines, overarching movie titles or closing credits, vast record covers or intimate lyric sheets; Opague is at the service of your every day design needs. ¶ Opague is loaded for bear! With over 1000 glyphs per style, supporting Greek, Cyrillic, and Latin scripts, Opague speaks more than 280 languages. Additionally, it’s brimming with typographic tools you never knew you needed; arrows, symbols, shapes, additional brackets, all kinds of stylistic sets and contextual alternates, case-sensitive punctuation and a countless amount of sets of figures. All of that just to make sure your typography doesn’t just work, but thrives. ¶ You’d better be ready to fall in love! ¶ ¹ Bernard Brother & Spindler’s “Lining Gothic nº82” / Bauer Type Foundry’s “Venus” / MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan Co. “Gothics”
