Mandevilla
Laura Worthington Design · Laura Worthington
A semi-serif display family with an elaborate decorative uppercase set, 210 swashes and alternates, and 38 ornaments, aimed at titling and logo work.
About
Mandevilla offers two distinct uppercase registers: a decorative default set with ornamental caps, and a plain titling set for less embellished applications. A 3/4-size small caps set, which drops the serifs and reduces ornamentation, allows mixed-case settings to retain coherent word shapes. Eight stylistic sets give fine control over letterform variation without requiring professional design software.
Classification
Described explicitly as a semi-serif, Mandevilla blends serif and sans-serif letterforms and is designed primarily for titling, display and logo use rather than extended text setting.
