Hasta La Ideas

The Daffodil Fountain serves as both a sculptural element and refreshing water source in a variety of public spaces. The petal-inspired design functions as a drain for the water, but also creates a way to generate revenue. Made of cost-efficient fiberglass, the petals can be changed regularly to promote local artists or generate income from sponsored advertisers. Aside from having a positive aesthetic impact, the design is a hygienic way to quench your thirst, thanks to its activating foot pedals.

Aria

I truly fell in love at first sight with the lowercase ‘a’ of Aria, capricious and full of happiness, and later with every letter of the roman weight. An inscription in a painting of the nineteenth century was the main source of inspiration for this display modern face, according to its designer Rui Abreu; it can be noticed in the capital letters A and H with their ‘broken’ cross-bar. But this epigraphic influence was shrewdly combined with a touch of English, energic calligraphic touch, reaching a perfect balance between exuberance, charm and artisanal quality. The italic weight is even more flourishing and lively, especially in the set of ligatures. It is also quite legible at medium text sizes, maybe it would be interesting to develop a text version? Enjoy the well-tempered beauty of these letterforms!
