The island of Fuerteventura is more known for its white sand beaches and windsurf-friendly constant winds than for its typographic marvels. Still, it's on the walls of a ballroom next to its white-sand beaches that Debora Manetti found the hand-painted letterforms that she took as inspiration for her typeface Sala de Fiestas. The resulting font was a condensed sans serif full of curious details and a jumpy Latino vibe that many years after still keeps its freshness and vernacular charm.

Francesco Canovaro took the original typeface as a starting point for a grand tour into signpainter aesthetics, developing a reboot of the original into a new type family: Salad. While being faithful to the original proportions and feeling, Salad provides extreme versatility through its five-weight range, its extended character set, and its set of OpenType features including stylistic sets, alternates, positional numerals, small capitals, and case-sensitive forms.

While the roman family with its italic counterpart provide a good workhorse tool for informal branding, packaging, and editorial projects, the interlocking and the inline weights add additional possibilities for display purposes. This is enriched by the inclusion in the typeface of a set of hand-drawn decorative dingbats that further complement the signpainting vibe of the family. All Zetafonts' expertise in handmade lettering, typographic design, and water sports has been put to the test to ensure Salad is the best typographical alternative to a trip to the Canary Islands!
