waa. es bastante bonito, esto. And in small sizes?
i think “gracia” is a good name for a typo. is grace in spanish.
like divine grace, you know. but in spanish is like “funny” also
“It is funny” = “tiene gracia”
saludos. jko.

The idea is that the typeface is narrow and I would like to have a name that reflects that.
Thanks for you suggestions so far:
I am not sure about “Piarka” but “Parka” could be nice.
“Cradle” could be a bit pretentious
“Okyanus” opens the door to too many jokes
” Beate”, How do you pronounce that?
“Gouda”! Idon’t think so!
“Gracia” is nice but lacks a bit of punch

Beate. You pronounce it “be-a-te”
I thought this font looks like good-old-fashioned lady. And in german there is an good-old timeless name for girls, ladies, mothers, midlife-crises or grandmas. I just google around, the name comes from the latin word “beātus” and means “lucky”.
Mmh, I still like her.

Hi dudes!
some interesting ideas here.
I like the “serow, narif” idea but they don’t sound very sexy
but i will definitely think about it

@ sebsan: that’s true. what about slenda (from slender). the name got even a sl-ligature.
December 3, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Very nice Stefan!
I like Slenda a lot. That could be the name I was looking for.

I think Regata or Regatta was perfect. Words that surround boats and ships always seem well matched for type.
February 8, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Ahh, I see Regatta is taken, but Regata still good.

Hey Stephen,
I did like Regata, but I settled with Coral.
Still has a connection with the marine theme which I also think is quite a good source for fonts names.
cheers
