"Orqquidea" is a low contrast and clean Roman Sans with capitals based on the classic Capitalis Monumentalis proportions with uniform and modern SmallCaps, with a subtle script touch on some curved strokes, that give it a less hard feel, more organic and friendly look.
Orqquidea was developed in 12 sizes with 659 glyphs each enhanced with professional opentype features (aalt, ccmp, locl, subs, sups, numr, dnom, frac, ordn, lnum, pnum, tnum, onum, c2sc, smcp, case, dlig, liga, zero, salt, calt, ss01, ss02, ss03, ss04), plus a complementary Orqquidea Framed version with 226 glyphs and a Orqquidea Garden version that include floral ornaments and related dingbats with 102 glyphs.
It can easily adapt to print and digital environments ideal for fashion branding and corporate purposes, magazine and book headlines and titles, cosmetic label design and even on contents with a modern and artistic air.
The design idea born on 2013 from Roman Schemme studies, where new version of Legan, LeBrush, Trajanite and Orqquidea roman typeface projects was based on.
Orqquidea passed many careful technical reviews before being published in order to offer the most pleasant typographic and editorial experience.
In order to reach the natural balance traditionally present on Capitalis Monumentalis we paid special attention on kerning process.
