Revue Font

Colin Brignall designed Revue for Letraset. The current ITC catalog identifies it as a heavy sans serif display face, with a Bold resource listed. Its original display-lettering purpose is a more useful guide to application than treating the file’s availability as evidence of a text family.

Read the publisher’s family page for the source account and the edition currently offered. Keep a family name distinct from its particular release, width or optical branch.

The listed family is a single display treatment. Compare the actual character shapes in the publisher’s specimen and inspect punctuation as well as capitals. A single bold file should not be assumed to include an independently drawn italic or a full text-weight range.

Use the original publisher specimen to inspect those features. An alternative can share a broad role without having the same letter shapes, metrics or character coverage.

Try a short advertising heading at its intended size and viewing distance. Give the heavy letters enough surrounding space and keep secondary information quieter. Compare the line break before reducing the heading to fit a narrow area.

For independent comparisons, try Righteous and Fredoka. Use the same wording and approximate output size. The related style guide provides broader design context.

Use ITC to try the original and investigate the files, styles and terms for your intended workflow. This site does not distribute or serve Revue font software.

The editable alternatives here have their own source profiles and included licenses. For the difference between a font file and copied characters, read Unicode text versus fonts.
