Free Font Friday: Soigne
by Margaret Penney | November 30, 2017
The uppercase version has a very prominent swash on the left hand side of the letter whereas the lowercase version is more simple. One could imagine using either upper or lowercase as a display type for a website, magazine article, or book cover. The lowercase would also work well as a logotype for a boutique or cafe.
Soigne would also work well for typography in holiday cards or on package labels. One could imagine it in a festive bright red or mint green, with a Christmas tree as a backdrop or framed in candy canes. The boldness of the font also makes it work well in 3D or used as a mask for a pattern or texture.
The font is designed by Wassim Awadallah in association with Fonts and Mockups.
