This is the adaption of a font invented by Enric Miralles. He was an Architect from Barcelona. Miralles was a master of sketching with ink-pens, ruler and compass. His case study containing linear drawn sections of a croissante are a instant classic of analog ink-pen art. Miralles drew versal-glyphs consisting of circle-curves and lines to letter his architectural plans.

Not just Miralles, but the architect in you is clearly visible in this font as well. I love the shapes.

Very elegant.
Is the S really just a diagonal bar?

@thalamic
thanks for the kind comment.
i must admit that i was just the pixel-pusher. All honour belongs to Mr. Miralles (who died too young)

i'm looking forward to your interview in fontfeed ;)

Here you can find the original font in action.

@gferreira:
yes, the S is really just a nasty diagonal bar.
