studio brief 2 manifesto

After creating the manifestos of all the existing typefaces that we have to base our designs on we had to write out own manifesto about out typeface, and also name it.

Vacilante

Vacilante is a bespoke typeface that is an adaptation of the classical Baskerville typeface that was originally created in 1754. It is a delicate adaptation with thinner strokes that contrast with the thick strokes that are at the bottom of the letter form. This create a hesitant feel to the typeface as the lower parts of the letter forms look reluctant to rise. This bespoke typeface could be used for sensitive subjects such as bereavements, and health care leaflets and booklets. Also similarly to the original purpose of the Baskerville typeface it could be used for books and publications.
