The outstandingly unique and beautiful, fat wood type face in use, »Manicotti«, was created by David Jonathan Ross.
Manicotti is inspired by the boisterous wood types of the nineteenth century,
Manicotti pushes the reversed-stress French Clarendon style to its
decorative extreme. Its thick tops and bottoms and massive slab serifs
overtake the short vertical stems, creating an oddly dense typographic
texture.
Originally drawn as an all-caps poster face, Manicotti was honored by
the Type Directors Club in 2007. Ross revisited the design a couple
years later, adding lowercase, extended language support, alternates
and ornaments. The result is a contemporary take on a rambunctious
style, reminiscent of Spaghetti Western films, rugged trails and rowdy
saloons.
