I released Report School on September 4, 2008. It was developed at the request of a customer who liked the structure of Report but couldn’t use a rounded sans in their project. The result was essentially a square-ended companion to Report, very close in construction but with terminals cut flat. I added Regular, Bold, and Heavy with italics from the start.

The name was mainly a practical choice. I wanted it clearly tied to Report while also serving as a convenient label for educational publishing and search engines. Like Report, Report School attracted feedback from teachers and publishers, and I often added alternate characters in response to those requests. The alternates sometimes diverged from Report because I treated the two as separate projects.

Report School has always been a paid font. Over time, I refined it to meet technical needs. On May 12, 2021, I updated the family with improved stylistic alternates for better accessibility in applications like InDesign, redesigned the S and s, added nut fractions and an alternative ß, and expanded the OpenType fractions feature to handle longer numerators and denominators. These updates aligned it more closely with current publishing standards while preserving its original role as a legible option for education and technical materials.
