Publisher: Laura WorthingtonGanache is a product packaging script font style, confidently strolling the vital fine line in between plain-Jane legibility-- so vital to sales-- and the extremely complicated brand personality, rather offering us a clear, happy, captivating face with the appeal and style to stand apart on any rack or page.
We have actually pertained to anticipate scrumptious typefaces from Laura Worthington, however this one takes the cake. Like its chocolaty, velvety, yet tough namesake, Worthington's Ganache is thick, rich, strong, but not weighty. It's trendy, however not over-the-top. It calls attention to a product or business, enhancing however not controling.
Round, sensuous, and practically bouncy, it stimulates marshmallows, butterscotch, gumdrops, mouthfuls of luscious frosted donuts, and luxurious, handmade little cookies lavished with thick, smooth filling. But Ganache, with its delighted, warm, human touch, and its beautifully drawn spunkiness, will draw the eye to much more than food and beverages, and in your hands, will stick out in the noise of other products through its seductiveness and clarity, instead of with a loud voice.
Ganache is beautiful and strong-- not a real script, roman, or italic, however a distinct hybrid. It's wise, complex, and enjoyable, and stealthily simple. The type designer's fascination with letter-fitting makes this an interesting exercise in negative area. Note the lowercase suffix: ing. The swash of the n swings into the g's unfavorable space, and to a slightly lesser degree, the g moves into the unfavorable area of the n. Sit a d and a b side by side, and these two strong, practical letters form a soft, sweeping curve in between-- a wonderful morsel.
The uppercase letters are boldly elegant, and here, a few of the counters show unanticipated shapes. The O's curlique tucks in to give the counter a form with the power to anchor a logo design. The lowercase c echoes this in its counter. In between some letters, the unfavorable area is transformed into a kind of swash itself. Small, subtle surprises like these are sprayed through this carefully structured typeface, giving it the power and charm to hold up in reversed out lettering (light on dark) in which the counters take on more prominence.
Ganache surmounts the core challenge of packaging: to achieve practical objectives without the loss of interest that makes an item undetectable. It finds a pleased balance: a heavy, significant text that isn't pretty or wispy, one that states, "I'm over here!" with a dollop of sweet taste and an enticing little wave.
Ganache is accompanied by 185 swashes and alternates and 10 ornaments. The default has its unique "swashyness," stylized but not extreme. OpenType's Titling feature uses an easier variation, in which, for example, crossbars have a more basic roman look, and remnants of swashes are removed.
