Avia

We have all seen proofs where faulty platemaking or light inking has lost all hairlines in a delicate roman. Raphael Boguslav observed the effect and understood it as a sophisticated form of stencil design. He used the idea in a logotype for Abex Corporation, then expanded it into Avia, a prize-winning PhotoTypositor font for Visual Graphics Corporation.

Among other uses, Avia is recommended for Magazine use.
