////Affair/////
How to have an affair and get away with it?
Affair. It’s an event and you’re invited. Affair is an extraordinary new
calligraphic typeface by Alejandro Paul with a party full of swash
characters, ligatures, and ornaments. By default, it’s simply an elegant
yet readable display face. Dress it up with alternates, and it becomes
irresistibly attractive, in styles from glamourous to over-the-top.
Hundreds of alternates, tons of swashy endings and ligatures, all
accessible through OpenType palettes in programs that support such
features.
A foreign affair
“Upon finishing the font I was fortunate enough that a few of my
colleagues, great type designers and probably much saner than I am, agreed
to show me how they envision my Affair in action. The beauty they showed
me makes me feel small and yearn for the world to be even smaller now –
at least small enough so that my international colleagues and I can meet
and exchange stories over a good parrilla. These people, whose kindness is
very deserving of my gratitude, and whose beautiful art is very deserving
of your appreciation, are in no particular order: Corey Holms, Mariano
Lopez Hiriart, Xavier Dupré, Alejandro Ros, Rebecca Alaccari, Laura
Meseguer, Neil Summerour, Eduardo Manso, and the Doma group. You can see
how they envisioned using Affair in the section of this booklet entitled A
Foreign Affair.”

//////Malambo////////
Master of the dancing brush, Angel Koziupa, and the node-obsessed
perfectionist, Alejandro Paul, offer up another bucket of fun with
Malambo. Koziupa has allowed his brush to jitter one whole millimeter in
this fresh design. Full of energy, cheek, and mischief, Malambo relates
amusing anecdotes of shaving without a mirror, mistakenly pouring wine
over the morning cereal, and people who trip over their own shadow on the
dance floor. Shaken, but not disturbed.
In fact, dancing is what this typeface is all about. Malambo is a
traditional Argentine dance performed by gauchos (the Argentine equivalent
of 19th century North American cowboys). Although they dance quite
passionately and make the heartiest parrillas, most of them probably don’t
know what a font is. But you know... and we know. And that is something
called Malambo.
