Brinca - Full-Spectrum Variable Type

Brinca - A Full-Spectrum Variable Type for Every Kind of Vibe.

Brinca is an intrepid ‘full spectrum’ typeface with emotional range and a dynamic heart. Morphing sharp tight pleats that relax into office ready neutral sans, then plump into joyful bouncy letters with mesmerizing fluency, Brinca is ready to adapt to a wide variety of expressive needs.

Named after its jumping extremes of the type’s styles; from coiled spring to stuffed and bouncy, Brinca is also a leap into new possibilities for display type design.

Because of its chameleon-like range of styles, Brinca is a versatile workhorse. It’s a great choice for brand identities ready to embrace expressive range, and it’s perfect for fine-tuned packaging, events promotions, merch, product lines, and much more. With its very wide spectrum of options, It’s a single typeface that can be used to design a library’s worth of book covers. (We put it to the test!)

Tech specs

The single variable typeface includes uppercase and lowercase alphabets, numbers, punctuation and latin diacritics—fully adaptable as a variable type (.ttf) for designers using compatible platforms—which we highly, highly recommend since variability is the whole entire point. It’s also available as five unique opentype (.otf) fonts for more limited use cases.
