This month’s Typeface of the Month: Laca Pro is a sans serif typeface by Nova Type Foundry.

Laca Pro is a sans serif typeface inspired by retro Portuguese packaging of soaps. “Laca” is the Portuguese word for hairspray. The starting point was to design a typeface that would bring a familiar feeling of closeness and warmth but give it a modern look, ensuring it works well on modern platforms. It’s a lively typeface that brings texture and personality to the text. Perfect for branding and all communications.

An upright italic version is available through the stylistic set that brings even more friendliness to the font. The result is a versatile typeface with many OpenType features that bring stylistic alternates to the designer. Laca Pro now covers Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts. You can use it for branding or mobile apps, and it will work smoothly. The special ligatures with clusters of uppercase letters make Laca Pro unique.
