About Viaoda Libre

Viaoda Libre is a display typeface with strong contrast between thick vertical strokes and hairline connections. The capitals are wide, the Q ends in a looping tail, and in the lowercase the ascenders of b, d, h and l finish in a small curl instead of a flat serif, while a, c, f and r carry ball terminals. The official notes say the design takes its cue from Vietnamese cultural symbolism and combines a traditional feel with modern elements, and they recommend it for large titles and subtitles. The family has one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 888 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended, Vietnamese and Cyrillic. The authors add that work on the family continues, with improvements to the Vietnamese planned. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Viaoda Libre works

Large magazine titles

Hairlines and thick stems are drawn for big sizes, the use the official notes name first.

Titles in Vietnamese

The design starts from Vietnamese cultural symbolism and includes the Vietnamese character set.

Fashion and beauty branding

Wide capitals with a looping Q and curled ascenders give a short name a refined, decorative outline.

Invitations and menus

Subtitles and names set large show the ball terminals and fine connections clearly.

Headlines in Cyrillic

Cyrillic letters are part of the 888 glyphs, so a Russian or Ukrainian title can use the same face.

Things to know

One style

Viaoda Libre has a single Regular style. There is no bold or italic.

Hairlines need size

The thin strokes are very fine in relation to the stems, which is why the face is recommended for titles and subtitles.

Still being developed

The official notes state that the authors are working on the family and hope to improve the Vietnamese in later releases.
