Rotis is a typeface developed in 1988 by Otl Aicher, a German graphic designer and typographer. In Rotis, Aicher explores an attempt at maximum legibility through a highly unified yet varied typeface family that ranges from full serif, glyphic, and sans-serif. The four basic Rotis variants are:
- Rotis serif (antiqua) — with full serifs
- Rotis semi-serif (semi-antiqua) — with hinted serifs
- Rotis semi-sans (semi-grotesque) — with zero serifs but with stroke width variation
- Rotis sans (lineale humanist sans-serif) — with zero serifs and with minimal variation on stroke width
