For a personal touch in your projects, here’s a welcoming display sans-serif by type designer Christian Tournier. ‘Ramona’ is inspired by the appeal of late Argentine folk songwriter Mercedes Sosa, and comprises irregular hand-drawn outlines to mirror perfect imperfections in handcrafting. The more casual look settles harmoniously into “warm and friendly communications,” be they for posters, headlines, magazines, or branding, its creator describes.
‘Ramona’ is available in two weights, Light and Bold, and is free for both personal and commercial use. Install it here.
