Portuguese designer (b. 1979), who studied communication design at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon (FBAUL), and obtained her Master's degree at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (2004) and still lives in Den Haag. She created the experimental sans typeface Vertigo (2004). At the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, she obtained an MEd with a thesis entitled Counterspace: Classroom Space as a Pedagogic Tool in 2019. She founded Atelier Carvalho Bernau in 2005 with her partner Kai Bernau. She is a guest lecturer at KABK, the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague (since 2011). At Atelier Carvalho Bernau in Den Haag, one can look at their commercial type families Atlas Grotesk (2012), Atlas Typewriter (2012), Neutraface Slab, Lyon Text, Lyon Display, and Neutral. Bespoke typefaces were designed for Esquire, Internazionale, and Munich Re. Atlas was released in 2020 at Commercial Type, where a Cyrillic version was added by Ilya Ruderman. The slab of the famous Neutraface family at House Industries was co-designed by Christian Schwartz, Kai Bernau and Susan Carvalho: Neutraface Slab Text, Neutraface Slab Display. Susana Carvalho published the bellbottom slab serif Plinc Tuggle at House Industries. It is a digitization of an earlier font by Photo Lettering Inc. In 2016, Susana Carvalho and Kai Bernau published Algebra (Commercial Type): Algebra evolved from Granger, a headline typeface designed by Susana Carvalho and Kai Bernau for the US edition of Esquire. Algebra is a broad-shouldered slab serif typeface built on superelliptical forms. Its loose spacing gives a remarkably comfortable texture in text, and its crisp detailing gives a distinctive and serious feeling at display sizes, particularly with some negative tracking. Algebra references Adrian Frutiger's Egyptienne, Georg Trump's Schadow, and Hermann Zapf's Melior. |
