Traktor

Road to Venice Type released Traktor, a mixed serif humanist typeface with roman and gothic influences. It is suitable display sizes in packaging, in an editorial or book setting or to set short passages of text. Moreover, Traktor comes with a basic Cyrillic set of letters, extending its support for Central and South Eastern European languages, and it offers variable fonts.

Traktor has its origins in wood cutting, a technique where tool and material only allow relatively short, sharp and interrupted movements and that ideally pairs with the writing of gothic type, think of the first bibles printed with movable type. Furthermore, it carries the influences of tapered Roman capitals in its stems and a slight tilt in all horizontals, both adding warmth and movement. It is folkloristic, but sober, breaking the pattern of gothic type by intertwining it with features derived from the Carolingian Minuscule—the written script that served as a blueprint for Renaissance humanist type—and reintroducing the sharp angles of the former into the round forms of the latter.
