“In Buendia, each member of the family is a different person, not just the same one who gained or lost weight.” The series tries to provide as many different design variants as possible within a single concept to give designers a compact but flexible set of options. Nevertheless, all styles have certain features in common, for instance the closed apertures, swashy tails and curls, and the slightly curved diagonals. These contribute to a warmth and playfulness that makes Buendia especially suited for packaging design, advertising, books and editorial design. 

All styles of Buendia come with extended Latin character-set, as well as OpenType features such as small caps, ligatures, and different sets of numerals.
