It was natural. Thats Verao, the simple spirit of summer. Alive and vibrant, Verao takes a turn away from the cold structure of todays rigid creations and embraces the movement back to the value of things handmade.

This artisan creation represents the rare, soul-invested fusion of the craftsmans tools, materials, and hand movements, which shapes the solid--but beautifully defined--parts, pieces that, when put together, breathe a measure of life into everyday paragraphs and other bodies of text.

More Veraos hand-written brush script, with its characters imperfect elegance and handmade quality, keeps your work looking organic.

Write a word in more than a hundred different ways thanks to the large number of extra letters it offers.

Verao contains stylistic substitutions and ligatures, too, that you can combine however you like.

Whichever way you design, the elements continue to appear balanced and separate and will undoubtedly add more personality to your design.
