It was first designed as a commissioned work for a new revised edition of the famous novel “Carmen”. The typeface has some sort of Latin Spanish-French flavor that leads us into the early nineteenth century but with a contemporary view. It works fine for both reading text and headlines. Its Italics provide a nice rythm and dinamism within the text. The shapes of letters show a taste for elegance and extravaganza at the same time.

Carmen Black exaggerates some of the details visible in the Regular and Medium styles, providing greater strength and character to the whole.
