About Pacifico Fonts

Aloha! Pacifico is an original and fun brush script handwriting font by Vernon Adams which was inspired by the 1950s American surf culture in 2011. It was redrawn by Jacques Le Bailly at Baron von Fonthausen in 2016. It was expanded to Cyrillic by Botjo Nikoltchev and Ani Petrova at Lettersoup in 2017.

The Pacifico project was commissioned by Google from Vernon Adams, an English type designer who lived in San Clemente, Los Angeles, USA. To contribute, see github.com/googlefonts/Pacifico

Updated June 2019 to v3.000: Added extended Cyrillic support.

Who Designed Pacifico?

All designers

Vernon practiced typeface design professionally from 2007 to 2014. A lifelong artist, during this period he eagerly explored designing type for the mobile/cloud era of computing. His work spans all genres, from lively script faces to workhorse text families and operating system UI. Vernon graduated with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading (UK) in 2006, and passed away in California in 2014. Almost all his typefaces live on as open source Google Fonts, and his favorite projects were Oxygen Mono, Monda, and Bowlby One. Follow his story at sansoxygen.com

"Baron von Fonthausen, distinctive type design with a twist." Jacques Le Bailly has a broad international experience in the field of type design and a background in graphic design, corporate design, typography and teaching. He specialized in (large) type design projects. Beside developing personal type families, he works for and in cooperation with high profile clients.
