W Type Foundry’s Moncler, designed by David Súid is one of my personal favourites for 2020. Its unconventional features of caps in lowercase and variable specification add an almost rapacious feel to the letters. The letterform is reminiscent of noir imagery, hinting to the mysterious, romantic and illicit.
From the universe of horror fiction literature, Dracula, carrier of the undead curse, is one of the most exciting and inspiring characters. Inspired by the classic novel, Moncler sets to explore into the renaissance art movement, its shapes, and personality. Moncler is a dramatic looking font, its main features are its alternative symbols and punctuation set, and small-caps as lowercase, perfect for more dramatic titles and graphic designs.
The outcome is a contrasting font with 220+ weights and widths, ranging from Condensed to Expanded and Light to Heavy. Drawing from the noir, the two posters vividly describe a plot set in two different harbours -as remote locations- where the two emotionally charged stories unravel. Playfully depicting intimate stories unfolding in the dark of the night, the posters depict concealed, emotionally charged, narratives.
The contradictions present amongst female and male, attraction and repulsion, passion and revenge, red and cyan, warm and cold, create a juxtaposing habitat presenting Moncler’s character. Moncler typeface is currently available at W Type Foundry’s website.
