Filippov - Optima

My name is Pavel, I am 24 years old, and I live in Austin. Originally I hail from the frigid climates of Siberia, in Russia, but am now an acclimated Texan resident, impassioned about art and design aesthetics. I am a transfer from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and currently working on my bachelor's degree in Comm Des.
Optima caught my eye right away from the images. Sensual and direct, I liked this font immediately because of its clean space and subtle contours. Its delivery is so easy on the eyes that reading every stroke and counter is a pleasure, fluidly moving through the letters effortlessly and playfully. Yet it still retains a dapper sense of class, with refined lines of prominent posture and beautifully calculated reclining curves. Reminiscent perhaps of a night with martinis under a blue moon, or the fine aroma of a brand new luxury automobile. A game of poker, anyone?
