Calla Titling

Calla Titling was designed by Christian Robertson at Beta Type. Was sold through Veer which has been defunct since 2016. Specimen shown in a Klingspor Museum pdf:

Found an alphabet of Calla Titling at What Font Is and a mention that it was for sale at Veer.

Been there, done that. Font info at whatfontis is sometimes a little off the mark, so I take with a grain of salt.


Do you have any info on who designed Calla Titling?

Christian Robertson of Betatype. Luc Devroye's site has this:
http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-23924.html

Notice it doesn't even list Calla Titling. It must have been published at one time,
Identifont lists it

http://www.identifont.com/show?24XS

but with no sample image. There are some indications that any samples you may find of the
actual font are probably from a PDF extract.

Myfonts currently sells Betatype fonts, but as usual when you're looking for something even a
little bit obscure in the way of font information, they're useless.

Duh. You altered your post before I finished writing my response.

Sorry didn't mean to jostle you. But I kept digging and the answer popped up.

Christian Robertson is now a designer for Google -- notably Roboto.
He has published some pro versions of his fonts on My Fonts.
Possibly he will do this with Calla Titling.

Yeah, maybe. Calla Titling has been floating around out there for more than ten years, though.

The page shown below was on the Betatype website for 7+ years. Scroll down to "First draft of
titling caps for a wedding"
