Viroqua (2023) is a complete reappraisal of Kandal (1994), one of my earliest typeface designs. The name Viroqua comes from the small town in Southwestern Wisconsin where my grandmother was born. The new version addresses flaws that have become apparent to me as I’ve gotten more skilled at designing type, especially in the italic, which I completely scrapped and started over. Viroqua is a hybrid design, combining elements of old style in the details and modern in the proportions. It has relatively low contrast modulation throughout the weight range, and the wedge-shaped serifs work more like slab serifs as they gain weight. Viroqua is very comfortable to read in text, and the boldest weights provide a lot of impact at display sizes. Viroqua features many typographical niceties, such as small caps, old style and lining figures (both proportional and tabular), superscript and subscript figures, fractions, and dingbats. Viroqua supports most Latin-based Western and Eastern European languages, plus Vietnamese.
