About this font family

After the Second World War, the Ionic style replaced Modern Face as the favored typeface for newsprint.
A couple decades later, it was in turn replaced by the next generation of newspaper fonts, a mix of Old Face,
Transitional and Modern Face forms. Rotation was designed by Arthur Ritzel and presented by Stempel/Linotype in 1971
and named for the rotation newsprint machine for which is was particularly suited. The font displays the influence of Old Face design and gives newsprint a feeling of lightness and elegance.
