In search of something special, I began this family back in 2013 with the objective of creating the fattest yet legible bodonian typeface in the market: It was a challenge, since roman font styles require generous counters (or what some call white areas) and taking them to the extreme of inexistence attempted versus the building and construction of lots of glyphs. Ears, dots, terminals and serifs constantly need some additional space so I needed to discover the specific point of boldness to make characters which have those qualities work well in the middle of those which have not. (1 )
After a while, I felt I was again 'in my element': Big contrasted letters, attractive and classy curves, which Lubalinesque feeling that characterise my typefaces. (2 )
Words written with Classy are an explosion of elegance and sensuality due to the fact that its didone attributes were exaggerated. Given that it has plenty of alternate glyphs, one can alter and pick them until a great block of "black" is accomplished. (3)
To accompany the routine design, I developed Chic Inline, a font with the exact same quantity of glyphs than the regular one; an all caps style called Swank Capitals, and likewise a truly spirited Italic version.
I hope you find this one scrumptious like I do! This font style is dedicated to all who understand letters are not simply indicated to be checked out, however also to be valued in group and individually.
Enjoy it.
NOTES
( 1) In example, it can be easy to design a fat letter 'n' with practically no counter, but actually tough to make a satisfactory letter's' with serifs to match that 'n'.
( 2) Also, it wasn't my very first attempt in fat didones. Take an appearance at my typeface Reina, made in 2012.
( 3) Posters above show lots of words with ball terminals that seem to dance above and below the words in order to fill those "undesired" blank spaces.
