albroni (3 weights)
(albroni-regular, albroni-capitals, albroni-alternate)
designed by nico schweizer, 1992

drawn originally in the 1950's by harper's bazaar art director alexey brodovitch and first shown in an issue of his magazine 'portfolio' (and aptly named al-bro alphabet), the signs and symbols were inspired by musical notation and announced as a 'new letter-face' (released through photo-lettering inc. in new york). 'albroni' is a reinterpretation of brodovitch's design, based on the few letters that were available to me.
