Branding with Type · Alberto Romanos · 2021
A Didone-inflected serif in six weights with matching italics, distinguished from its sibling Nº 3 by a more pronounced quirky attitude in its letterforms.
About
Designed by Alberto Romanos and released in 2021, Bw Pose Nº 5 sits within the Didone tradition but pushes its personality further than the companion Nº 3 through deliberately eccentric details. Twelve styles span Thin to ExtraBold with true italics, supported by OpenType features including stylistic alternates, old-style figures, ligatures and case-sensitive forms. Extended Latin language support covers all European Latin scripts.
Classification
A modern Didone with exaggerated quirky details layered on top of high-contrast vertical stress and rational structure. The foundry explicitly positions it within the Didone genre, taken a step further than its sibling Nº 3 in terms of eccentric character.
