The typeface was born from observing the volumes of Di\u00e1rio (Diary) by Miguel Torga, works in which writing is a continuous record of human experience, memory and reflection. As an editorial object, the diary creates an intimate relationship between text and reader, demanding a typeface able to sustain long reading while keeping its expressive character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e1rio is a transitional serif, according to the Responsive Vox Classification System, whose archetypes are Times and Baskerville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design process balanced tradition and the present, preserving the rhythm and legibility of classical editorial typography while introducing solutions suited to today\u2019s digital contexts. Developed as a variable font, it explores formal flexibility without compromising the consistency of its identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also seeks to reflect the human dimension of writing: the gesture of recording thoughts, emotions and events over time. Just as a diary gathers fragments of a life, this typeface brings together typographic memory and contemporary interpretation, turning a historical legacy into a new instrument for reading and expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
