Paquito
Fontshare · Juanjo Lopez · 2021
A condensed, whimsically drawn display slab by Juanjo Lopez, released through Indian Type Foundry, with a hand-lettered irregularity suited to headlines and food-sector design.
About
Three weights span Regular to Bold, all drawn with a fine-tipped pen character that introduces deliberate irregularity across the letterforms. The condensed proportions make it efficient at large sizes, and details such as top-heavy uppercase letters, unconventional numerals and 46 ligatures reward close inspection. Paquito works well in editorial headlines but finds a natural home in restaurant identities, menu design and food packaging.
Classification
Fontshare categorises it as Serif, Slab. The letterforms are condensed and whimsically hand-lettered in character, placing it firmly in display slab territory with intentional irregularity and quirk.
