What it does
Revolver Type Foundry publishes Newson, Damien, Mondial, Dinamit and Le Rosart, alongside custom type work. Family pages combine editable specimen text with test-font and PDF links.
Newson’s specimen places short headings beside longer passages across weights and italics. Use Click to edit or Edit text to compare a real title with a body excerpt, then follow Download PDF for a fuller specimen. This gives the lighter and italic styles a useful role in the comparison alongside bold display samples.
Choose the required styles and output licence before checkout. The purchase terms say that digital content arrives through an emailed download link within 24 hours of the contract, with the timing adjusted for agreed prepayment. Desktop files are OTF. Webfonts include TTF, WOFF, WOFF2 and EOT for the licensed website.
The web licence has a one-time fee and covers one named domain with up to three subdomains. Separate domains need separate orders. If pageviews exceed the licensed allowance for three consecutive months, contact the foundry to upgrade. The web agreement permits conventional website text, not a tool that lets remote users edit text with the fonts.
