A Script Typeface Bringing Back the Funk & Soul Essence Regular

Ravals A script typeface bringing back the funk & soul essence

About Styles Designed by Ricard Garcia. 2019/2020. Regular

With a funky approach, Ravals is a script typeface intended for display sizes that transforms your text with a unique informal and yet regular texture.

Initially inspired by the brush lettering models from the fifties and sixties, it can perfectly fit with music from that era. Besides that, though, the spontaneous design of Ravals is mainly a homage to the vitality and rhythm (also known as Ravalejar) of one of the most important neighbourhoods in Barcelona under the same name.

To make this vivid and informal texture, Ravals comes with an extended Latin character set in initial, medial, final and isolated designs. These sets make Ravals a fully functional script typeface with all characters carefully designed to make fluid connections, even with alternative constructions in some specific combi- nations.

Raval 20pt La palabra funk en inglés se refiere originalmente a un olor corporal Jamiroquai fuerte, general- mente ofensivo. Según el historiador y antropólogo Robert Farris Thompson en su obra Flash Of The Spirit: African & Afro-American Art & Philosophy, la palabra funky tiene su raíz semántica en la palabra “lu-fuki” de la lengua kikongo, que significa “mal olor corporal”.
