## About Ceviche One

Ceviche One is a display typeface in which every letter leans forward and ends in an angled, blade-like cut. The specimen shows fat strokes with small counters, capitals that swell at the top, and a lowercase that looks painted with a flat brush: the bowls of a, d and g come to points instead of closing in smooth rounds. The official description calls it an expressionist sans and traces its curves to lettering from the 1960s. Because the shapes are so dark and tightly fitted, the face is meant for a few words at large sizes. Ceviche One has one Regular style and is not a variable font. The file holds 249 glyphs in the Latin subset. Miguel Hernandez is the designer, the copyright notice names LatinoType Limitada, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Restaurant and food truck titles**: Fat, leaning letters with pointed cuts read as hand-painted sign lettering on a menu header or a banner.
- **Retro posters**: The 1960s lettering source suits gig posters and film-night flyers set in one or two large words.
- **Snack and drink labels**: Small counters and dark strokes hold their shape when a product name is printed over a busy background.
- **Sports and event headlines**: The built-in forward slant adds a sense of movement to a short headline.

## Things to know

- **Slanted by design**: The Regular style itself leans forward. There is no upright cut and no separate italic.
- **Latin subset only**: With 249 glyphs in the latin subset, the font has no latin-ext, Cyrillic or Greek characters.
- **Small counters**: The openings inside a, e and o are narrow. Below headline sizes they begin to fill in.
