Forma DJR is a revival of Aldo Novarese’s late mid-century neo-grotesque for the Italian Nebiolo foundry. Working together with Roger Black and Indra Kupferschmid, David Jonathan Ross studied the original metal type and interpreted the design as a large family with optical sizes, rounded corners, and tapering stems. The weight range was later pushed to Hairline and Black extremes and reimagined as a variable designspace, with contributions from Ruggero Magrì.
