La BohemeLa BohemeLa BohemeLa BohemeLa Boheme
An original typeface designed using Adobe Illustrator and FontLab Studio, working as an Opentype font. The concept centers around the unrestrained social climate of the 1920's Jazz Age- a period of revelation, rebellion and revelry especially among women. Dramatic circular drops, elongated serifs and intricate curves are used to reinforce the idea of breaking away from oppression.
