Flauvist is a contemporary sans-serif typeface designed by Yihuang Zhou. The name Flauvist is a mash-up of “florist” and “fauvist”. The goal was to create something that marries intense compressed letterforms, graceful floral curves. The typeface also mixes different terminal styles to create even more variety.
“I always like to mix things up. Type design is often seen as a strict and serious thing that often scares people away. That makes me want to create unexpected stuff even more. By blurring the lines between a display typeface, as well as the definition of a high-contrast typeface, I hope Flauvist has the best of both worlds.” Yihuang says.
Flauvist is intended to be used at all sizes above 10pt. It is also being made into a variable font.
