Typeface Design for Gustine Vaganza
Geometry meets calligraphy in a seven-weight expressive sans
Gustine Vaganza is a display sans-serif family by TypeMates designer Natalie Rauch, released in 2025 as an expressive extension of the Gustine family. The design bridges geometry and calligraphy through fluid, handwritten-influenced letterforms—notable in E, G, B, K, e, k, t, and f—while deep joints in V, W, and A retain the parent family's sharpness. Seven weights are offered alongside Gustine Extra, a standalone black display weight that adds swashed initials, contrasting punctuation, and intensified joints.
