About
Designed by Sofia Mohr and the Latinotype team, Mandioca Variable merges geometric construction with grotesque character through wide letterforms, compact ascenders and descenders, and straight terminals. The variable format provides flexible control over weight and style, making it adaptable across a range of typographic contexts. Its high x-height aids legibility at smaller sizes whilst retaining a distinct personality at display scale.
