About Silvana VF Font Family


Silvana is a contemporary display serif typeface with charming yet sharp, dynamic strokes, strong contrast and delicate pointed serifs. Retaining historic traits while responding to currents of the zeitgeist, Silvana is a graceful and confident typeface family with an expansive set of both functional and experimental charming glyphs, putting forth pronounced contrasts for your designs.

Silvana's meticulous drawing process has been influenced by research into transitional typefaces from the 19th century, combining the Old Style spirit of preserving the pen’s influence with the sharper contrast and higher level of refinement introduced in modern style type design.

In a type specimen of Pennsylvania published by Schelter & Giesecke during this period, there seems to be an unintended effect, where excess ink has gathered on the right side of the lowercase a, creating a bumpy, dark spot. In the design of Silvana this subtle printing error is transformed into a charming distinct design detail, adding a fine ink-like fluidity to several letters across the typeface, such as G, S, a and n.

As a supplement to the standard character set, there is a large alternate set with a more charming and expressive style. Here the ink drop detail is applied more broadly, and can be found on the horizontal serifs of letters such as E, T and Z, and on the diagonal crossing strokes found on A, M and R and more. The fluid and dynamic quality of Silvana is fully pronounced in the italic weight palette, which features energetic end strokes, deep junctions and steep calligraphic turns. The font's charming uniqueness is enhanced by strong contrasts

Stacked ligatures, like www and xxx, is a refreshing and playful addition to the designers tool kit. With its extensive and contrasted glyph set, offering versatility and personality, Silvana can give character to a broad variety of printed and digital designs such as brand identities and logo types, book covers, editorial designs, posters, exhibition designs and websites. It’s especially suited for display type purposes, but also reads well in smaller point sizes.
