Brida

My final project, called Brida, is designed to meet the demands of a contemporary antiqua. With its purpose for magazines and journals it is set out with a narrow width, large x-height and open counters. This makes it work well in slim text columns and in small letter-sizes, 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, but that the overall text-image is interesting, open and pleasant to read.
