About the font

Pacifico is a fun brush script by Vernon Adams, inspired by 1950s American surf culture. Jacques Le Bailly redrew it in 2016, and in 2017 Botjo Nikoltchev and Ani Petrova of Lettersoup added Cyrillic.

The letters are heavy, rounded and joined, like lettering on a shop sign. Pacifico has a single style with no bold or italics, so it is used for short lines: signs, packaging, menus and social posts. The Kazakh letters and ₸ are drawn in the same style and do not stand out from the line.
