Lúčnica

The custom typeface for the Lúčnica Artistic Ensemble reflects the essence of a blossoming meadow. Lúčnica is a modern display serif typeface with Light and Black weights. It has a geometric construction with high contrast, which, in select glyphs, is atypically applied — it does not adhere to the principles of stroke modulation but instead organically imitates shoots and stems of plants. The typeface also includes special slanted capitals and numerous decorative and connecting variants of selected glyphs, which can be variously combined using OpenType features. For the numerals, a hybrid design was chosen, balancing between lining and old-style figures. The typeface also includes a character containing the logotype, in which the construction principles were applied to a script form. By utilizing all these elements and functions, an original setting with a lively organic character can be achieved.
