FL AMA As a part of our system, we chose Flama typeface with a wide range of weights to better communicate our brand. Flama is a simple geometric sans serif that mixes aspects of both, European and American sans serif traditions. It was initially designed for signage but soon become a hit among editorial designers. The first version dates from 2002 and had only 5 weights (and than 6) including italics. After being selected by the Typographica website in 2005). Flama was revised and expanded with four new weights.
Flama Thin, Ultralight, Semibold and Extrabold. Available in ten weights all with italics, ranging from Thin to Black. Three extra complementary widths complete the familiy: Semi-condensed, Condensed and Ultra-condensed. Flama is used in many publications worldwide, including The Sunday Times, Newsweek and Playboy among others. All Flama fonts have table and text figures with extended character set supporting most of latin based languages.
