#20 Autovia by Santi Rey
Q1: Where did the idea for the typeface come from? Did you set out to address a specific use or suite of the application? Was this a design you’d had in mind for a while?
Ans: The idea was born from my love of Highway typefaces. I have always been fascinated by them and wanted to design a more casual and less geometric version of them. Autovia is my personal contribution to the Highway sub-genre.
Q2: What should graphic communicators know about the typeface, or how will the family of fonts help them create better designs?
Ans: This is a typeface that was created mainly for big bold headlines. It works particularly well when applying tight tracking and leading. However, this is a highly versatile design, and the lighter weights are perfectly suited to be used in longer texts.
