GROUNDBREAKING

Orfeu Negro is a Brazilian retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, directed by French filmmaker Marcel Camus in 1959.

Rainha da Noite

The film is particularly noted for its soundtrack that helped popularize the sound of Bossa Nova around the world.

O MORRO NÃO TEM VEZ

“A Felicidade” by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, one of the most famous songs from the Orfeu Negro soundtrack, has notable covers including versions by Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.

Jobim was a composer, pianist, and singer born on January 25, 1927, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Manhã de Carnaval

Jobim draws its primary inspiration from the French classic Vendome (likely the most famous modern Old Face), designed by Francois Ganeua in 1951, but drifts away from a historical revival infusing a vernacular approach based on the lettering from the poster of Orfeu Negro. Replacing the dynamic, expressive flow of Vendome with a simpler, more orthogonal axis, Jobim manages to be both brutal and elegant. Suitable for big sizes, the Compressed Black is just the first of a family planned with 48 styles that will include up-right and italics.
