ROBERTA is a digital interpretation of Bob Trogman's delightful Art Deco analog original. (See note at right.) Thanks, Bob, for letting me taking a shot at recreating your beautiful font! |
"I originally hand cut this font in 1962. It is based on a Belgian restaurant sign. I named it after my daughter Roberta. Many Mexican food companies used this font, but they didn't know it was from Europe. Dan Solo was going to digitize it for me, but he retired from the font business last year. Just give me credit for the design and it is all yours to do what you want." |
 |
Later I found an example of ROBERTA RAISED SHADOW in a book and just had to make it too. It pushes the Art Nouveau feeling of the regular font in a more "Psychedelic 60s" direction. No lowercase, like the analog original. I've also made a special version of regular Roberta, adapted for use as a fill with the basic shadow font. |
