Zanco: A Typeface of Delicious Contradictions

Zanco epitomizes a celebration of delicious contradictions, merging elegance with awkwardness, youth with sophistication, all within a single, variable display type. Its tall and narrow stance boasts stressed curves and softened internal angles, along with an unconventional weight distribution that seems to effortlessly find its perfect balance. Transitioning from lanky to heavy, Zanco's typeface delights in thickened shadows that gracefully fill the lower halves, creating a particularly captivating effect, especially on its interlocking descenders.

The very name "Zanco" pays homage to its elongated, stilt-like limbs, reminiscent of the zancos worn by acrobats who tower above jubilant crowds. Throughout its entire family, characters stand proudly in a diverse array of styles: from the solid, funky platforms of the heavy-footed to the slender, airy lifts that evoke an ethereal, art nouveau aesthetic. The overall impression is one of gentle curves, melty forms, and a hint of nostalgia.

Zanco offers a relaxed yet versatile presence, ensuring legibility while exuding sensuousness and usefulness simultaneously. It's the ideal choice for brand identities with depth, packaging that speaks volumes, and messaging that effortlessly resonates. Whether on posters, billboards, or dynamic motion graphics that seem to leap off the screen, Zanco shines.

Crafted by the talented Alexander Wright at the In-House International studio foundry and brought to life by Rodrigo Fuenzalida, Zanco emerges as a testament to creative ingenuity. In-House International itself stands as a beacon of innovative branding solutions for those poised to make a difference.
