Perec Ludique
Pampatype · Alejandro Lo Celso · 2010
A playful three-part display family by Alejandro Lo Celso, drawing on jewellers' shop signage, stencil lettering and crossword typography within the broader Perec super family.
About
Part of Pampatype's Perec super family, Perec Ludique comprises three distinct styles for expressive typesetting. Oncle Jacques is a tridimensional chrome-effect font split into Ombre and Lumière layers for colour editing, inspired by traditional jewellers' signage; Pochoir is a stencil font rich in alternates and ligatures; and Cubes follows the logic of crossword grids, programmed for intelligent character juxtaposition. Each style carries substantial OpenType features including oldstyle figures, extended diacritics and linguistic ligatures, giving the family practical depth beneath its decorative surface.
Classification
A decorative display family comprising three highly distinct styles: a tridimensional chrome layering font, a stencil font, and a crossword-cube font. The playful, experimental nature places it firmly in the display/decorative category.
