Years of Production: 2019–2021
Glyphset: Latin Extended-A
This typeface started as an interpretation of Albert Hollenstein’s famous «Brasilia» from 1958. A second version (G) with vertical terminals was drawn in order to let the modernistic feeling collide with a more humanistic expression. The untypical long tails of /f, /j, /r and /t are emphasized and accompanied with stylistic alternatives to give it a more contemporary feeling.

Family Overview (2 Styles, 4 Widths)
Bolivia is a particularly good choice for strong branding and larger application, but it can also be used for introductory text or shorter text passages. The family spans eight weights, split in two with different stroke ends. The four widths open up the possibility of alternating narration in the same voice, and yet seem different enough to make it more than just a repetition of the same old. The spacing is quite dense, which allows for expressive typesetting, what is suitable in web as well as print application.
