Wow, I go on one small Seattle vacation and return to a bevy of typographic bliss.  Firstly, Semilla. I mentioned Sudtipos before. Quite frankly this Argentinean foundry have the finest collection of script faces around. Semilla continues this tradition.

As a designer enamored with the mid-century, I envision this a yet another tool in the arsenal to replace the “brush script hell” that many clients try to foist.  Semilla is upbeat, approachable, and optimistic.  I am fond of the upbeat feel of the typeface overall.  Also with Opentype Script faces a key design choice is including discretionary  ligatures.  Semilla has plenty. Check out the fl and fi swashes.

Semilla is available via Veer.
