A custom variation of Melindrosa. Designer Flavia Zimbardi says: “When my friend (and @womenintype.xyz collaborator) @tidatep asked if I could customize Melindrosa for a @tidalmag article, I couldn’t say no. especially after learning it would be about Brazilian artist @tadaskia first solo exhibition at MoMA so I hope you like this diacritics play as much as I did—opposite from most solutions that make accents as small as possible, the acutes are the focal point here, connected in a single diagonal—supporting the angularity in the beautiful shot by @ariellebobbwillis.”
