Notes From The Reading Room
The reading room opens onto a quiet courtyard. Along the shelves, small handwritten labels mark the collections. A visitor leaves a book open beside the window, keeping a place for the next reader.
A heading marks the next chapter. The margins leave room for a note while the text continues across the page.

An Argentinian art publisher was the first client for Buenard. Gustavo Ibarra drew it for their books, and it went on to serve as his final project in the University of Buenos Aires postgraduate typography course.
The skeleton is a classical transitional roman. What he changed was the weight of things: the strokes have less contrast than usual and the serifs are heavier, which gives the face a steady presence on paper and keeps small sizes from going thin. Catalog text under a color plate is where it would earn its keep.
There are 4 weights now, Regular, Medium, Semi Bold and Bold, all upright, with Latin and Latin Extended. With no italic in the family, emphasis has to come from weight.
