## About Livvic

Livvic is a sans serif family that began as a custom typeface for the UK insurer LV=, drawn during a redesign of its brand. Jacques Le Bailly drew the roman as an upright italic: the lowercase a is single-storey, the y ends in a curved tail, and several strokes borrow from handwriting, which adds an informal note to an otherwise plain sans. The italic shares its metrics with the roman but is constructed differently. The family runs from Thin 100 to Black 900 in eight weights; there is no ExtraBold 800. With italics that makes 16 styles, delivered as static files and not as a variable font. The fonts hold 785 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese, and they are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Brand identity systems**: Eight weights with italics give one family the range for a logo line, headings, body copy and legal small print.
- **Interface text**: The single-storey a and open shapes keep Regular and Medium friendly in buttons, forms and help text.
- **Brochures and marketing copy**: Italics that match the roman's metrics let emphasis be added without changing how a paragraph sets.
- **Large headlines**: Black 900 is heavy enough for campaign headlines, while Thin 100 serves oversized display lines.
- **Vietnamese-language material**: The Vietnamese subset is included, so the same styles carry over to Vietnamese versions of a document.

## Things to know

- **No ExtraBold**: The weight scale jumps from Bold 700 to Black 900; an 800 weight is not part of the family.
- **Static files only**: Livvic comes as 16 separate TTF files. It is not a variable font, so intermediate weights cannot be set.
- **An upright italic as roman**: The upright styles use cursive constructions such as the single-storey a, which is a deliberate part of the design, not an alternate.
