About
Released in 2010 and extended in version 2.0, Margarita takes the extreme stroke contrast of the Didone tradition and pushes it into fat face territory for titling and poster use only. The family runs to four fonts: roman and italic in both a solid and an open-face (Luce) form, each carrying an extensive set of OpenType alternates and a full suite of ornaments for building frames and decorative backgrounds. It won awards at Tipos Latinos 2010 and the Hii Type contest.
Classification
A Didone-derived fat face intended exclusively for large display sizes, with extreme stroke contrast in the tradition of Bodoni and Didot, and an engraved (open face) variant alongside the solid roman and italic.
