Road to Venice Type is a Dallas-based independent type foundry founded by René Rieger (Master’s in Applied Visual Arts). Established to design “in conversation with the history of type,” the studio crafts retail fonts like No. 43 Striated, No. 3 Series, Rhizome, and Plateau Five. Rieger’s work is research-driven, blending historical letter models with contemporary utility. The foundry offers retail, custom design, and font production services, supporting trials, multilingual licensing, and student discounts. What makes Road to Venice Type unique is its thoughtful fusion of typographic history and functionality—each font is drawn with care to explore authorship, archetypal forms, and practical application.
