Rieven Uncial Pro Family | Desktop

If a sans serif roman and an uncial got together and had a type-baby, it would be Rieven Uncial. While it retains a rich­ness and elegance found in traditional uncial forms, Rieven Uncial has been carefully tempered by designer Steven Skaggs to be much more versatile. The accompany­ing italic works perfectly well with its uncial cousin de­spite being structurally quite distinct from it.

The OpenType Pro versions of Rieven Uncial have: broader support for lan­guages based on the Latin alphabet, seven sets of numerals (including old­style & superiors), prebuilt fractions (or use the numer­ators and denominators to com­pose your own), over a dozen Ligatures, Symbols, Orna­ments, and more. It’s packed full of typographic goodies and the OpenType fea­tures for ease of use.

Rieven Uncial looks great on books, packaging, and sign­age, or any­time there is a need for an exotic feel to text with­out be­ing overly decorative.

The Rieven Uncial Family package includes the fonts Rieven Uncial, Rieven Uncial Italic, and Rieven Ornaments in OpenType format for Desktop (3 fonts total).

Rieven Uncial was awarded a “Certificate of Ex­cel­lence in Type Design” in the 2010 TDC².
