Sonrisa was designed by Jason Castle and published by CastleType.
Sonrisa contains 8 styles and family package options.
Sonrisa is a design that evolved from my sketches of the skeletal structure of Jakob Erbar's Koloss, trying to discover its underlying essence without all the contrast and bulkiness of the original design.
Sonrisa Thin was the resulting font, from which the other weights of the family were developed. Gentle curves, open counters, generous x-height, and sleekly tapered terminals give
Sonrisa a very legible, modern, elegant appearance. When she saw the first draft of this typeface, the smile on my friend Jennifer's face gave me the idea to call it "
Sonrisa" (Spanish for "smile"). Jennifer, a clinical psychologist, described
Sonrisa's personality as: 'happy, clean, clear, open, joyful, spacious, playful, calm. I can see it being used for body product lines such as oils and lotions. Can see it being used in home/travel magazines or even Architectural Digest. Yoga magazine, definitely.'
Sonrisa is what some foundries call a "Pro" typeface family with all the bells and whistles that provide typographic versatility: true small caps, oldstyle numerals, arbitrary fractions, discretionary ligatures, and other powerful OpenType features. All fonts in the family, except Sonrisa Titling, support most European languages, including modern Greek and languages that use the Cyrillic Alphabet. (Cyrillic glyphs designed in consultation with Ukrainian type designer, Sergiy S. Tkachenko.) Sonrisa is available in the original Thin, monoline version as well as six weights (Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Extra Bold, Black), and a Titling font that is essentially a display font construction kit.
If you enjoy using Sonrisa even half as much as I enjoyed creating it, then I know you will have a "sonrisa" (smile) on your face!
