Road to Venice Type
No. 3 Series is a typeface for a variety of large scale applications including titling, visual identities, books, magazines, mobile patterns and websites. It has the characteristics of humanist letters, borrows from periods before and long after the Renaissance – e. g. the increased contrast – and is drawn into a contemporary context.
No. 3 Series covers three widths in large steps, Normal, Narrow and Poster. Furthermore it is to a large extend influenced by writing and cursive writing, which inspired the first letters that were cut in metal. For example the principle behind the shapes of the a, d, p and q of the lowercase alphabet is the rotation of an italic letter written with a broad nib pen. Italic handwriting usually has a slope which in this case is reduced to zero, but the underlying theoretical strokes are preserved.
