How to Use a Rotis Font

Your project may be on hold while you struggle to find the right font. The Rotis fonts are simple, yet they allow the designer to add swelling strokes through font variations. Designed in 1989 by Otl Aicher, the Rotis font is unique due to its matching sub-families: Sans Serif, Semi Sans, Semi Serif and Serif. This makes the Rotis fonts ideal for headlines, captions, labels and even album covers.

Instructions

1. Download a Rotis font (or the entire family) from any number of font websites. Some popular websites which require you to pay for licenses are Fonts.Com, FontShop and Linotype. Once purchased, download the font to a folder of your choosing.

2. Install the font by first browsing to the folder where you downloaded it. Select the "Rotis" font, right click on it and then click "Install." Alternately, you can double click "Fonts," which is located in the "Control Panel," choose "File" and then "Install Fonts." Browse to the folder where you downloaded the font and select it for installation.

3. Apply the Rotis font by clicking the dropdown arrow next to the "Font" field found in most Windows productivity programs. Select "Rotis" to begin using it.
