Ganache

Like its chocolaty, creamy, yet sturdy namesake, Worthington's Ganache is thick, rich, strong, but not weighty. But Ganache, with its happy, warm, human touch, and its beautifully drawn spunkiness, will draw the eye to much more than food and beverages, and in your hands, will stand out in the noise of other products through its seductiveness and clarity, rather than with a loud voice. The type designer's fascination with letter-fitting makes this an intriguing exercise in negative space. Ganache surmounts the core challenge of packaging: to achieve functional goals without the loss of interest that makes a product invisible. We've come to expect delicious typefaces from Laura Worthington, but this one takes the cake. Round, sensual, and almost bouncy, it evokes marshmallows, butterscotch, gumdrops, mouthfuls of luscious frosted donuts, and deluxe, handmade little cookies lavished with thick, smooth filling. Small, subtle surprises like these are sprinkled through this carefully structured typeface, giving it the power and charm to hold up in reversed out lettering light on dark in which the counters take on more prominence. Ganache is accompanied by 185 swashes and alternates and 10 ornaments. The O's curlique tucks in to give the counter a form with the power to anchor a logo. The lowercase c echoes this in its counter. It's stylish, but not over-the-top. It's smart, intricate, and fun, and deceptively simple.

It finds a happy balance: a heavy, substantial text that isn't dainty or wispy, one that says, I'm over here! It calls attention to a product or company, enhancing but not dominating. The uppercase letters are boldly stylish, and here, some of the counters display unexpected shapes. Between some letters, the negative space is transformed into a type of swash itself. The swash of the n swings into the g's negative space, and to a slightly lesser extent, the g slides into the negative space of the n. Ganache is lovely and strongnot a true script, roman, or italic, but a distinctive hybrid. Sit a d and a b side by side, and these two sturdy, functional letters form a soft, sweeping curve in betweena delightful morsel. Note the lowercase suffix: ing. with a dollop of sweetness and an enticing little wave. The default has its distinctive swashyness, stylized but not extreme. OpenType's Titling feature offers a simpler version, in which, for example, crossbars have a more standard roman look, and remnants of swashes are removed.
