About
Dotties Vanilla & Chocolate draws on the vernacular lettering of small businesses and ice cream parlours dotted across the Upper Midwest. The two cuts – a sans and a slab serif – are designed to complement one another, allowing them to be combined into varied typographic arrangements. The concept of 'flavour combinations' runs through the pairing, encouraging playful mixing of the two styles.
