Typefaces Urbana
Urbana wants to be a contemporary sans-serif typeface inspired in the traditional lettering seen in one of the most popular, massive transportation mediums available in Bogotá (Colombia): “busetas” (small city buses). A mixture of influences reminiscent of modernism, hand lettering, cluttered spaces and improvisation are the source of its characteristic forms. Urbana wants to save space and catch the reader’s attention at the same time. Released in August 2007. • Urbana design process in Typophile • Urbana at Myfonts.com
The purpose in Obliqua is to combine certain features proper of handwriting with the proportions of humanistic typefaces in order to achieve both legibility and personality for setting running text and titles. Hopefully it will be published by Monotype in 2008. • Obliqua design process in Typophile Bolívar
