-**Forma DJR** is a modern revival of Aldo Novarese's //Forma//, and is designed by David Jonathan Ross and Roger Black. It is a neo-grotesque (also known as "International" or "Swiss" style) typeface, characterized by their irregular proportions, regular cap and ascender heights, and their somewhat "default" appearance. It shares much in common with similar typefaces such as Helvetica and Univers, but gives the style a softer, friendlier feel. +**Forma DJR** is a modern revival of Aldo Novarese's //Forma//, and is designed by David Jonathan Ross and Roger Black.
