My Laca Font Review
What a treat to the eyes! This charming and playful sans-serif typeface was inspired by vintage Portuguese soap packaging. And you can definitely feel this, when looking at Laca, the display style of the superfamily. But also Laca Text conveys this certain warmth and friendliness. Let’s discover some of their details.
Laca is made for branding, packaging or editorial design. Compared to Laca Text, it has an additional weight (Black), also covers Cyrillic and Greek script, and is equipped with OpenType features. Be bold and turn all caps text into striking logotypes by activating the rare ligatures. Or be more gentle, by turning the stylistic alternates for upright italics on.
But there are other, subtle differences that tell apart the display and the text style. Laca is more playful with its curved tails, a bit sturdier strokes and compact spacing. Laca Text has a bit simpler letter shapes, slightly taller lower case letters and wider spacing.
Yes, Laca Text is more restrained, but for extensive copy or UI text, it still might be a bit over the top. In these cases, I recommend pairing it with another typeface.
