Thus, we present to you Manteiga - butter in Portuguese! - a typeface for heart-melting, word-spreading goodness.
The idea we had was to play with brush lettering - a design we like - and go as far as we can with the shapes of the letters while discovering balance in between favorable and unfavorable space.
We wanted biiiig personality. And little inconsistencies - the ones that include texture and life to lettering.
We left substantial OpenType features and technical stuff aside for a moment, adding later just what we believed was needed, like various shapes for the Q, a and g - for example.
All caps setting was something we desired from the start. In text case, the x-height is rather brief for a brush script, and this lends a wacky voice.
Spacing is ultra tiiiiight so don't go too small, but make it as big as you want!
Ah! And there are some enjoyable dingbats included for good step.
