Waterfall
Rektorat
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences and fine phrases fly into your mouth.
Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.
The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then it continued on its way. A little later, it met a copy. The copy warned the blind text that it was unsafe where it came from.

Rektorat – a resuscitated typeface
Rektorat is a type family based on historical letterings originally created in 1933 by Ernst Keller for the signage of the building that used to house the Kunstgewerbemuseum Zürich (now Museum für Gestaltung Zürich) and the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich (now University of the Arts, ZHdK). Between 2014 and 2018 Rudolf Barmettler and Anton Studer have developed the typeface to a full family consisting of 14 weights, which are the first part of a growing superfamily.
