About Buenard

Buenard is a serif typeface built on a transitional roman skeleton, with the stroke contrast turned down and the serifs drawn heavier than that model usually carries. In the specimen the capitals are broad and calm, the J drops below the baseline, the Q trails a long tail and the numerals are old-style figures that rise and fall like lowercase letters. The family is a variable font with one axis, weight, running from 400 to 700, and four named weights: Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. There is no italic. Its 423 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended. According to the official notes, the design began as work for an Argentinian art publisher and was then developed in a postgraduate typography programme at the University of Buenos Aires. Gustavo Ibarra is credited as the designer.

Where Buenard works

Art books and catalogues

Buenard began as a face for an art publisher; its moderate contrast and sturdy serifs hold their own beside reproductions and long captions.

Essays and long articles

Regular for running text with SemiBold or Bold subheads keeps an essay inside one family, though emphasis needs another device because there is no italic.

Headings a shade heavier than the text

The weight axis accepts any value between 400 and 700, so a heading can sit slightly darker than the body without jumping to full Bold.

Dates and quantities inside sentences

The old-style numerals shown in the specimen sit at lowercase height, so years and amounts blend into a line of text.

Publications in several European languages

The Latin Extended set includes the letters needed for Turkish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian alongside Western European languages.

Things to know

No italic

The family holds upright styles only. Book titles and emphasis that would normally be italic need another treatment.

One variable file

The download is a single variable font with a weight axis from 400 to 700; Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold are named positions on that axis.

Figures are old-style by default

In the specimen the numerals have ascenders and descenders. Check how they look in tables or prices before committing to the face for data.
