Visages Vraies: Experimental Font

Visages Vraies

Font designed by Sofie Neudecker

c

About me I am a font which is based on the simplifed outline shapes of the features of human faces. Even though the facial characteristics are simplified and displayed in an abstact way , I still appear comical and exaggerated to my readers. Of course, I am made for big posters with short and important messages, not for long specialized literature or narrative novels. Next to the transmission of information, I set a statement and create a particular mood. If I am combined

with more silent, neutral typefaces, I can be a strong, effective and eloquent communicator.

Because the human perception of facial expressions is highly developed and very complex, we tend to recognize and see faces everywhere around us. As a consequence, the resemblance of a face always affects, moves and impacts us. It inderectly speaks to us through our deepest emotions in a strong, hidden and memorable way.
