A single-weight ultrathin display face designed to evoke the soft, dissolving contours of a dream, originally created for a pillow shop's corporate identity.
About
Designed by Elena Kolesnikova and released by ParaType in 2009, Quiet Time uses ultrathin, monoline stems to produce letterforms that read more as illustration than conventional type. The design was conceived to suggest a virtual dreamlike reality in which objects lack solid form and exist only as faint, fading outlines. Its single Regular weight suits decorative poster and fashion editorial contexts rather than sustained text setting.
Classification
An ultrathin, monoline display face with illustrative letterforms designed to evoke the soft, indistinct quality of dream imagery, placing it firmly in the decorative display category.
