Not three lost Marx Brothers but the keys – along with a grid-based layout and a lot more open space – to the redesigned v. 1.8 of music player Roon. There was something cluttered and fatigueing to the eye about the layouts and typefaces used for previous versions, which this redesign seems to have elegantly addressed. On their website, Roon write:

Roon now has a fresh new visual design that takes its inspiration from the idea of the museum – an airy, neutral environment in which to display things of beauty. We also took cues from classic music magazines, using bold typography and innovative layout to bring music to life. Along with innovations in data presentation, Roon is now a joy to use.

Headlines use the distinct Grifo; all information is set in a combination of two similar typefaces, Noto Sans and Lato.
