Prangs, an Italic Didone typeface with a modern twist.
Prangs is a newly designed typeface from foundry Sudtipos. It’s Alejandro Paul’s successful attempt to revive an old lettering for sign painters – found in a book by American printer and publisher, Louis Prang. During the late 19th century, Prang has published several instructional books but today he’s best known as the father of the American Christmas card. The one lettering that caught Alejandro Paul’s attention was an Italic Didone with an interesting little twist. All lowercase letters were almost entirely connected, which created a superb interplay between modern typography and classic calligraphy. And so Alejandro Paul decided to create Prangs, an Italic Didone consisting of three weights including Light, Regular, and Bold.
