The “Obelia Neue” typeface emerged from reflections on architecture, which is the physical structure of our world. Thus, typography is the architecture of our ideas, creating intellectual spaces where the reader navigates, shaping their experiences through the interpretation of the message.
In both typeface design and architecture, space and style are crucial, and their primary goal is to evoke emotions and communicate ideas.
The morphology of the “Obelia Neue” typeface draws directly from the same use of forms that inspire Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao (1972) to create her designs. Using constructive modules, a series of alphanumeric characters has been created that will enable the typeface to achieve its ultimate goal: to breathe life and spirit into a text.
