About
Designed by Luciano Vergara, Mendoza Vergara and Guisela Mendoza, Garden draws on the textile and floral design traditions observed in Brazil to produce a cheerful, hand-drawn serif with a spontaneous energy. The family extends well beyond a standard type family, incorporating swash variants, a slab companion, brush-calligraphy catchwords, botanical ornaments and floral dingbats. It is suited to posters, label design and handmade-style editorial work where decorative warmth is required.
Classification
A handmade display serif with playful, brush-influenced letterforms and a family that includes slab, swash and catchword variants. The organic, hand-drawn quality and decorative scope place it firmly in the display category.
