Faust is a soft-serif font family created by Steve Jackaman (ITF) in 1993 exclusively for the Red Rooster Collection. It was inspired by “Faust Antiqua,” which was designed by German designer Albert Kapr for Typoart in 1959. “Faust Antiqua’s” original design only included a roman and italic weight; Jackaman built four additional weights to flesh out the family. Faust’s slightly geometric, sloped curves evoke a Victorian or Baroque look. The caps are wide and lower than the ascenders, and there is some squaring up of the round letters.
Red Rooster Collection is a multi-faceted type foundry with high-quality fonts designed with the utmost care for today’s creatives. We always strive to make beautiful fonts, whether display or text, serif or sans, script or hand-written, elegant or playful, academic or frivolous, modern or historic, packaging or branding, advertising or editorial. There is undoubtedly a typeface to suit every typographer’s needs—because we refuse to release it if it is not up to our high standards.
