Volume 1 «Tangibility and Intangibility»
Nutype's first project is an attempt to transform the intangible into a tangible form—type. Drawing inspiration from music, dance, and art, we have created a total of three type families comprising six fonts.
NU Habanera is named after the aria from Act I of the musical Carmen, set in Seville. Inspired by the image of a crimson dress flowing like the waves of a great tide, the passionate dance of Flamenco, and the free-spirited character of the gypsy woman Carmen, NU Habanera captures this vibrant essence. Its most distinctive feature is the continuous flow—an unbroken movement reminiscent of Flamenco dance. Since Flamenco is performed by the human body, it was essential to reflect natural motion and form. This is expressed through the handwritten-like structure of the letterforms and the organic, seamless connections between strokes that seem on the verge of breaking but never do. The Italic style amplifies these connections, using slanting forms to evoke a sense of speed and to emphasize the dynamic, handwritten quality.
