Roslindale is a serif typeface that follows in the footsteps of
De Vinne, originally published in the 1890s by the Central
Type Foundry and named for the nineteenth century printer.
It’s an oldstyle that can’t shake its Victorian sensibilities, with
sharp, stubby serifs, bulbous terminals, and the occasional
hint of diagonal stress. In text, you’ll find Roslindale to be
stylish and sturdy; in display, it flirts with 1970s slickness. The
result can be a bit cheesy at times, but it’s more of a creamy
brie than a stinky bleu.
