Grotesque font super families can answer a wide variety of design problems and go from small sizes to large without missing a beat.

Vinila is Flora de Carvalho’s take on the genre. The family’s multi-purpose intention comes from having 4 widths — from compressed to extended, each with 6 weights and obliques — a total of 48 styles!

About Vinila

Rhythm and music played an important part in the design of this font, which started off as the lettering for a Brazilian Music album.

Its distinctiveness comes from having powerful ink traps that go from elegant and subtle in the lighter styles to commanding and impactful in the heavier styles. A distinct rhythm is achieved, making it a strong face for editorial design, branding projects and so much more.

Vinila is the ideal companion to expressive display faces, where it serves a supporting role with a marked presence.

We’ve had some of the best designers use it and test it in many different environments, printed, digital, mobile and more (they really like it!).

A variable bonus

Vinila Variable is an experimental version of Vinila. By changing the parameters in weight, width and slant you can have a virtually infinite mix of styles, all from a single font file. This makes Vinila über-flexible! Vinila Variable comes with the family bundle (desktop and/or webfont).
