Obla font family is a modern serif typeface accompanied by appropriate italic in seven weights. Sketches of letters were drawn manually, using thick marker for creating shape and pencil for finishing details. This way I managed to retain calligraphic origin of shapes, which is revealed beneath strained curves drawn on the computer. All of the weights were carefully examined and tested several times to make sure that they are well adjusted to each other.
Obla is equipped with some basic OpenType features and supports Cyrillic and Latin script. Using
Obla in small sizes is very convenient, because of its large x-height, and
Obla is a very readable typeface. It seduces the reader with its vivacious character. The typeface is also suitable for usage in large sizes. The best choice for headlines is using the heaviest (Black) and the lightest (Thin) weight. There are two smaller family packages in offer:
Obla Basic Set contains Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic, while
Obla Light Set contains Light, Light Italic, SemiBold and SemiBold Italic. These two sets are the most appropriate for working with small text. Other weights can be bought separately, or within the whole family.
Obla is awarded typeface. It got Special Mention in Cyrillic Typefaces category in Granshan 2016 (9th International Type Design Competition for non-Latin typefaces), and it was chosen as a Merit Winner in the Student Typeface Design category in Print's Typography and Lettering Awards competition. At that time, before publishing, the typeface was named Petra.
