Macondo
Macondo is a text typeface created for Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. Inspired by the novel's ethereal essence, the typeface evokes an organic, delicate charm. Given the length of the book, over 500 pages, Macondo was designed to hold up clearly at small point sizes and across long blocks of text. Its concave serifs and sharp terminals give it a complex, untamed character. The name honors the small fictional town where the novel takes place.
