- Bohemia (Eduardo Manso, 2003)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bohemia has been conceived by the intention to be used supporting a good "performance" in all sizes. Not inspired in by a concrete model, it’s a modern vision of a whole epoch: the typographical atmosphere of the ends of the 19th century. Bohemia brings together the characteristics of the transition typefaces and the modern ones, being his principal axis vertical. Nevertheless, the transition of the thick outlines to the thin ones is harmonic avoiding the vertical emphasis that characterizes the typefaces of its style.
The contrast is one of the variables that marks the point of inflexion among the display typefaces and the texts ones. It was a determinant factor of the design in this case to look for the ideal contrast to work in an effective way both in texts and in headlines. Bohemia has been published in an exclusive way by Linotype Library.
