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.

David Jonathan Ross draws letters of all shapes and sizes for custom and retail typeface designs from his studio in the woods of Western Massachusetts. A native of Los Angeles, He began drawing typefaces at Hampshire College and joined The Font Bureau in 2007 where he honed his bézier-wrangling skills. Now he publishes his typeface designs at his own foundry, DJR, as well as working on projects with Type Network and developing unusual display faces for his Font of the Month Club.
