Mastering Medium Italic Ben Kiel Bold Bold Italic Extra Bold Extra Bold Italic Blanco is a serif typeface with 4 weights designed primarily for comfortable, extended reading at smaller text sizes on screen and in print. Its strong, consistent rhythm creates an even value and texture that gives text blocks a calm tone of voice. The unfussy, sturdy details provide a contemporary, understated and thoughtful character. This character allows it to be easily paired with other typefaces, making it a versatile addition (or beginning) to a type library as a utilitarian face. While there are optical corrections in the forms to make Blanco work effectively at smaller sizes, these corrections remain unobtrusive at larger sizes, revealing a warmth and consideration to the details of the design. fostertype.com Blanco 90 Page 2 of 32 Regular SOIGNEUR Domestique Mechanical Italic ECHELON Aerodynamic Slipstreams fostertype.com Blanco 90 Page 3 of 32 Medium PALMARÈS Petit-Enghein Mexico 1972 Medium Italic CRANK SET Pantograph Ornamental fostertype.com Blanco 90 Page 4 of 32 Bold CLIMBING Polka dots Grimpeur Bold Italic CADENCE Breakaway Poursuivant fostertype.com Blanco 90 Page 5 of 32 Extra Bold SPRINTER Puncheur Gruppetto Extra Bold Italic PACELINE Endurance Kilometres fostertype.com Blanco 70 Page 6 of 32 Regular Counterattacks Disqualification Medium Hors catégorie Lëtzebuergesch Bold Manufacturer Championship Extra Bold Cobblestones Vélocipèdique fostertype.com Blanco 60 Page 7 of 32 Regular GREEN JERSEY Neutral services Medium TRACK STAND Bottom bracket Bold CHAIN WHIPS Torque wrench Extra Bold STAGE RACES Broom wagon fostertype.com Blanco 48 Page 8 of 32 Regular Liège–Bastogne–Liège Plan di Montecampione Medium Prix de la Combativité La Gazzetta dello Sport Bold Queen of the Classics General Classification Extra Bold The Lanterne Rouge Ronde van Frankrijk fostertype.com Blanco 48 Page 9 of 32 Regular SEMPIONE SESTRIERE Colombière Peyresourde Medium AUBISQUE BONAIGUA Entremont Stelvio Pass Bold VENTOUX SORMANO Tourmalet Télégraphe Extra Bold GALIBIER FINESTRE Hautacam Madeleine fostertype.com Blanco 36 Page 10 of 32 Regular COURCHEVEL CHAMROUSSE Philippe Thys F.

He was told to abandon the race by doc- tors but continued. With the strength in his arm heavily diminished, his mechanic, Faliero Masi, wrapped inner tube around his handle- bars and suggested Magni use his mouth to pull on it to help him with steering. On stage 16, from Bologna to Rapallo, Magni crashed again, landing on his broken clavicle and breaking his humerus. He passed out from the pain and eventually regained consciousness in an ambulance. After he realised what was happening and failing to understand the severity of his injury, he screamed at the driver to stop and resumed racing. The peloton was waiting for him at Ra- pallo and he finished the stage. Days of racing passed until Stage 19, when the race reached the formidable mountains of the Dolomites. Unable to brake with his left hand, he skidded while descending The Stelvio Pass, narrowly escaping yet another crash and making it to the end of the stage. The following day it was cold and snowing. A freezing peloton passed over the four brutal climbs of the Costalunga, Rolle, Brocon and Bondone. Sixty riders abandoned the race due to the harsh conditions on stage 20, including the leader, Pasquale Fornara. Magni had moved to second place and even tried attacking the new race leader, Charly Gaul, who had ridden strongly, starting the day 16 minutes behind. Gaul was too strong and Magni finished second overall, 3:27 ahead of third place. He was given a cast but it was promptly removed by his mechanic using sheet metal scissors so Magni could return to training as soon as possible. fostertype.com Blanco 18 Page 15 of 32 Medium, Medium Italic, Extra Bold During the 1956 Giro d’Italia, on stage 12 from Grossetto to Livorno, Fiorenzo Magni crashed while descending from Volterra and broke his left clavicle.
