Student: Rafaela Ribeiro
Typeface: ABC Otto(2024)
Classification (R-Vox): Transitional Serif (Baroque / “Dutch Taste”) [Contemporary / Neo Humanis Serif?]
Archetype: Miklós Kis types / Baskerville
Main Features Highlighted by Student: Designed by Sam de Groot and Laura Opsomer Mironov as a proudly ahistorical text face with an anthropomorphic, cartoonish display presence. The analysis maps short ascenders and descenders, compact widths, bracketed serifs, upward ball terminals, and constricted counter apertures.
Best Practices & Execution: By intentionally charting the font’s entire basic character set, ligatures, and extended symbols, the student took an exhaustive approach. While less compact for a quick read, this deep systematic logging serves as an optimal workflow foundation, mapping out the wide technical horizons required in later font production modules.
