Salad Font Family

The Salad Font Family, designed by Francesco Canovaro and Debora Manetti for Zetafonts, is a versatile typographic system rooted in the vernacular charm of hand-painted signage. Inspired by mid-century Latin American signpainter aesthetics observed on Spain’s Fuerteventura Island, this sans-serif family combines nostalgic warmth with contemporary functionality. The core collection spans five weights—Extralight to Extrabold—each accompanied by italic counterparts that preserve the original’s condensed proportions and rhythmic irregularities. Notable extensions include an Interlock variant for dimensional layouts and an Inline style for decorative applications, enhanced by hand-drawn dingbats evoking coastal vibrancy. Technical sophistication emerges through OpenType features like stylistic alternates, case-sensitive forms, and positional numerals, making Salad equally effective in editorial branding and packaging design. The family’s organic imperfections and mechanical precision bridge artisanal craftsmanship with digital adaptability, offering designers a multispectral toolset for projects requiring both technical reliability and humanist character. Free trial versions allow personal experimentation, while commercial licenses unlock full linguistic support and variable font capabilities.
