BRIDA TYPEFACE

Brida is made to meet the demands of a contemporary serif-based typeface for magazines and journals. It is designed with a narrow width, large x-height and open counters. This makes it work well in slim text columns and in small letter-sizes, which are both important features in this area of application. Brida is designed to be a transparent text face: it was therefore one of my goals that none of the letters should draw any special attention in small size, but that the overall text image is interesting, open and pleasant to read.

Brida was made as a final project at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague 2009-2010
