Pacifico
Google Fonts · Vernon Adams · 2011
A cheerful 1950s-inspired brush script that has become one of the most recognisable and widely used display faces on the web.
About
Pacifico draws on the casual brush lettering tradition of mid-century American signage and packaging, delivering a warm, approachable character that suits consumer branding, food and lifestyle contexts, and anything requiring a laid-back retro tone. Its single weight limits versatility but ensures a consistently bold, confident presence at display sizes. Ubiquity on the web has made it something of a default choice for informal branding, which is both its strength and its limitation.
Classification
Pacifico is a casual, rounded brush script drawn in the style of American casual scripts popular in the 1950s and 60s, with fluid strokes and a relaxed, friendly rhythm. Its generous curves and consistent weight make it immediately legible despite its informal character.
