Description

ZooLogic is a sans-serif typeface with rounded terminals that originated from a hand-lettering project. In 2007, CocoBooks published the work of the Japanese illustration group La Zoo, known for covers that integrate informal letterforms with their illustrations.

For the Spanish and Catalan editions, we sought to bring the rhythm of the original Japanese compositions into the Latin script, using the same finishing techniques and integration methods. This led to the creation of multiple variations for each character, resulting in a vibrant and diverse collection of cover designs.

When we began developing a typeface based on the characters used for La Zoo, we established an unconventional style system: a formal version (Style 1), a more idiosyncratic version (Style 2), and finally, the most informal of the family (Style 3), where the letterforms vary significantly in design and size, creating a lively, bouncing effect along the baseline.
