Designed by Marconi Lima, Obvia is a sans serif font family. This typeface has eighteen styles and was published by Typefolio Digital Foundry.
Obvia, a geohumanist type for all media.
Obvia appeared as a result of direct observation on typefaces classified as geometric and the plan to explore for the first time width axes - to be published soon - expanding its usability.
The idea behind Obvia’s design was to create a distancing from geometrically pure shapes, in this case, square shapes.
Then some details were added, such as subtle inktraps, concave endings of the stems and carefully drawn alternate characters, giving a ‘geohumanist’ tone to the font.
This first family of Obvia has 9 weights ranging from Thin to Black with their respective italics, delivering a strong typographic identity, from the paper to the pixel.
