Special occasions need a special font. The Laima font family is precisely that. We are very pleased to introduce this brand-ready stencil font formed by a flowing calligraphic brush instead of rigid machinery — lively, unexpected, and captivating.

Laima has been awared with a Certificate of Typographic Excelence 

by the Type Directors Club New York.

Since the 1950s the TDC has been holding two yearly type competitions: one for the use of type and the letterform in design and the other, typeface design. The winners are reproduced in the Typography Annual, as well as displayed in seven exhibits that travel worldwide. In addition to celebrating outstanding achievements, the typography competitions and resulting annuals serve as important historical records of typographic trends, and are an invaluable resource for both designers and scholars.

The stencil font category has a range of looks and styles. But because of what it has to accomplish, over the last several decades stencil has almost come to mean only the strokes that are necessary.

We are proud to announce the Laima font family by Bogidar Mascareñas, a stencil formed by a calligraphic brush! This flowing beauty has letter parts akin to the stop-and-start rhythm of a stunning pearl necklace held together by delicate threads. Laima was awarded the Gerard Unger Scholarship (previously, Typeface Publishing Incentive Program) and now you get to see why. Check out the alternates on our website type tester and put it to work in your next upscale event or rebrand.
