Typeface Family for Print and Web
Nine numeral variants per weight, selectable as the default at licence time
Nota is a low-contrast humanist text typeface designed by Nikola Djurek (Latin) and Ilya Ruderman (Cyrillic), released by Typotheque in 2009. Its roman styles feature a subtle two-degree slant the foundry says enhances readability, while the true italics carry condensed letterforms, smaller counters, and a distinctive contrasting cut at the base of stems. The family spans four weights and draws on Renaissance proportions, with each weight offering nine numeral variants accessible via OpenType features.

Insights
- The italic is a true italic rather than an oblique: letterforms are condensed, counters reduced, and ascender tops sloped, distinguishing it structurally from the roman.
- Numeral defaults can be set at licence time, allowing buyers to choose old-style, lining, or other variants as the font's out-of-box default.
- Latin and Cyrillic scripts were handled by different designers—Nikola Djurek and Ilya Ruderman respectively—with Igino Marini contributing to both and Roberto Arista handling engineering across both scripts.
