Buendia

Buendia stellt eine Untersuchung dar, was eine Schriftfamilie über die traditionellen Strichstärken und Weiten hinaus sein kann. César Puertas hat seine einzigartige Schrift Serie in sechs Stile unterteilt mit eigenständiger aber zueinander passender Anmutung. Grotesk, abgerundet, serifenbetont und übergehend – alle basierend auf dem selben Skelett aber mit unterschiedlicher Ausarbeitung. Die Strichstärken reichen von einem dünnen und mittleren Sans Schnitt, über den eleganten Roman und Italic Antiqua Schnitt, einen gemütliche dicke Serifenbetonte, hin zu der extra fleischigen abgerundeten Sans Serif.
Pressetext: Buendia is an exploration into what a type family can be beyond the traditional suite of progressive weights and widths. César Puertas structured his unique series into six styles with distinct but matching flavors: grotesque, rounded, slab-serif and transitional – all based on the same skeleton but with different finishing. The weights range from a thin and medium sans, via the elegant roman and italic serifs, a cosy bold slab, to the extra beefy rounded sans. 

“In Buendia  each member of the family is a different person, not just the same one who gained or lost weight.”

The series tries to provide as many different design variants as possible within a single concept to give designers a compact but flexible set of options. Nevertheless, all styles have certain features in common, for instance the closed apertures, swashy tails and curls, and the slightly curved diagonals. These contribute to a warmth and playfulness that makes Buendia especially suited for packaging design, advertising, books and editorial design. 

All styles of Buendia come with extended Latin character-set, as well as OpenType features such as small caps, ligatures, and different sets of numerals.
