Gist Rough was designed by Ryan Martinson and published by Yellow Design Studio. Gist Rough contains 40 styles and family package options.
Gist Rough from Yellow Design Studio is the letterpress version of Gist. It’s warm and weathered with a retro yet modern vibe. Every weight includes 3 versions with varying levels of texture which can be used individually or mixed to taste. It has highly detailed texture and looks great even at very large sizes.
With 627 glyphs per weight, Gist Rough is highly customizable…either keep it simple with the base character set or use ligatures, alternates and swashes for extra flair. All-caps typesettings have an especially retro edge. Also included are line layers for adding color to the inline areas. As a bonus, try Gist Rough Light Three for free!
Because of its complex outlines, Gist Rough may process slowly in some applications.

Gist Rough Tips:
– In Photoshop try different ‘anti-aliasing’ settings for best results.
– In Illustrator if the line layers don’t align with the normal layers, change the “First Baseline” setting in the Area Type Options to “Leading”.
– Works best with opentype savvy application, especially those with a glyphs palette like InDesign, Illustrator and Quark. All glyphs can also be accessed in any layout software by using the application “PopChar” by Ergonis.
