Amanecimos sobre la palabra (“We dawned on the word”) is an anthology of young and recent Venezuelan poetry, selected and prefaced by Oriette D’Angelo. Published in 2016 by Team Poetero from Caracas, the book was designed by Juan F. Mercerón from Santiago de Chile.
The typesetting was done with early versions of Violeta, for the poem layout, and Lira Sans, for the headlines and introductory text, both families published by Quintana-Font. Lira Sans was used in the Bold version, combined with the Italic of National Bold, published by Klim Type Foundry.
Note the mixed types: Lira Sans Bold with National Bold Italic.
