About
Designed between 2008 and 2009, Carmen Fiesta is the expressive offshoot of Andreu Balius's broader Carmen family, built around the visual language of Andalusian festival graphics. Its embellished stylistic sets amplify the decorative quality, making it suited to poster work, event branding and any context calling for a festive, southern Spanish character. A rich Latin Extended character set covers a wide range of languages, with localised forms for Catalan and Dutch.
Classification
