Julia Kid when said: the secret to excellent french cooking is butter, butter, butter.
Thus, we provide to you Manteiga - butter in Portuguese! - a typeface for heart-melting, word-spreading goodness.
.The idea we had was to have fun with brush lettering - a design we enjoy - and go as far as we can with the shapes of the letters while discovering balance between positive and negative space.
.We wanted biiiig personality. And little inconsistencies - the ones that include texture and life to lettering.
.We left substantial OpenType functions and technical stuff aside for a moment, adding later on only what we thought was needed, like various shapes for the Q, a and g - for example.
.All caps setting was something we desired from the beginning. In text case, the x-height is rather brief for a brush script, and this lends a quirky voice.
.Spacing is ultra tiiiiight so don't go too small, however make it as big as you want!
.Ah! And there are some enjoyable dingbats included for good measure.
.Manteiga pairs magnificently with our sans-serif workhorse Motiva Sans.
