Embossanova was developed by Stephen Boss and published by Emboss. Embossanova consists of 6 styles and household bundle alternatives. p > Embossanova was initially sketched to be a monospaced typeface however quickly handled a life of its own. It established serifs and many arcs and stroke weights. I desired it to retain a pre computer/unmathematical feel so there is a small variation on curved characters and their relationship to the X height.
