Publisher: AE Type Inc.Vanitas Stencil is a sophisticated high contrast contemporary sans. It is rooted in the design of a traditional didone, leaving out the typical serifs and ball terminals as well as being developed with a cleaner, more reductionist look. Stringent attention was offered to the cohesiveness and balance between letterforms as well as the careful improvement of all curves. The careful, atypically put stencil marks compliment Vanitas' refined character, presenting a distinct slant on the typical stencil treatment.
Stylistically, Vanitas Stencil's alluring, advanced sensibility is directly motivated by haute couture. The upright styles are complimented by a pairing of optically changed true italics, which were purposefully adjusted to retain the sharpness of their counterparts. Abandoning generally carried out cursive italic letterforms retains Vanitas Stencil's unique quality through each style.
