  2. Rubi sounds like a soap opera, which would make for an awesome typeface! Composed of lots of drama, broken corazons, and lessons learned this has everything to leave an impression with readers. This is the imagery I am getting from the summary, and you can incorporate the imagery with the emotions into the typeface.
