Yes, Roswell, New Mexico. There was a big anniversary of ’the incident’ in the news while I was designing Roswell, declares Jim Parkinson, discussing his new ultra-condensed display types, ITC Roswell Three and Four. “The incident” is the purported UFO crash in Roswell 50 years ago. “I thought the name was acceptable as a serious font name, while, on another level, having a strangely humorous edge,” he says. Like many of Parkinson’s typefaces, this one looks very good in large sizes on a poster or in a magazine layout. Roswell started out, says Parkinson, as “a variation on American gothic forms like Railroad Gothic,” but it’s an original design with eccentricities of its own. The reduced weight where the bowls join the stems gives the face its crisp legibility, and the curious terminals on some letters, such as capital C, G and S, and lowercase a, c, f and g, give a quirky character to a basically straightforward face. For flexibility in display typography, Roswell has a set of small caps in both weights as well as the complete lowercase.
