I think it is a warm face as well, in the sense that it isn’t geometric and swells and narrows. It has a logic that controls it’s expressiveness but it is very expressive nevertheless. More than that I think it has an elusive* charisma that is rare.

* In the sense that it’s hard to find a reason or feature to account for it.

nothing constructive to say

nothing constructive to say here but I really like the work.

Perhaps I am saying this because I am making a connection in my mind with the other name, but it reminds me a lot of the “warmth” from the Lisboa typeface.

Voy a tratar de juntar

Welcome to my life. In spite

fontplayer — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 18:04:42 -0700

Welcome to my life. In spite of ’A’s in five semesters of college Spanish, I never got officially fluent, still having to translate in my brain.

And when my wife and her relatives start whirring away in Spanish, I have learned to tune it out. As we say here in the States, ’El Mundo no se va a acabar.’ -For now, anyway.
; )

Oh, and I’d like to say I really like the font. It has a very friendly boldness.

Very nice typeface! Is it up

Very nice typeface! Is it up for sale?

I have to say about English vs other languages: English was the original language here at typophile and all posts should be kept in English. If there is interest for a Spanish Typophile that should be on a different url (www.typophile.(something)). Considering the people that only speak Spanish are not going be able to take part in any English threads and vice versa there will only be a divide. I myself am Norwegian and English is definetly not my first language. I have many gramatical mistakes in my posts but that doesn’t stop me. There is not one person in here that’s gonna judge you for trying to write in english. People are just happy to have a mix of people in here with different backgrounds. That’s what makes Typophile great. Having said that; there are a lot of people in this world who only speak spanish and it would be an idea to make a Spanish site for them (sooner or later it will definetly have to be a Chinese site as well). The Spanish speaking Typophiliacs can then decide whether to post at the english site or the spanish site depending on the relevance of the topic for the different groups. The community would not separate but just be more organized. Posters that speak both fluent Spanish and English would still post and translate anything of importance on both sites.
Maybe I should start up a Norwegian/Scandinavian Typophile division...? Nahhh We are only about 20 million people up North (Danes Swedes, Norwegians and the few Finnish that still speak Swedish). I’ll stick to the .com site;-)

Oh...the italic esta la

Oh...the italic esta la bomba.
Eben is right: the r is too much like an n with an amputation. Make the r more rounded and add musculos to his arm!

Hoy, mimis!

Urbana: typeface inspired in the city of Bogotá

Cesar Puertas — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:12:46 -0700

Urbana wants to be a contemporary sans-serif typeface inspired in the traditional lettering seen in one of the most popular, massive transportation mediums available in Bogotá (Colombia): “busetas” (small city buses). A mixture of influences reminiscent of modernism, hand lettering, cluttered spaces and improvisation are the source of its characteristic forms. Urbana wants to save space and catch the reader’s attention at the same time. All of your comments are very welcome.
