Placid Plastic Duck Simulator

which typeface?

For the marketing website of the Placid Plastic Duck Simulator Game, I chose two different typefaces. The one, that is used for the display is called Calistoga. The one that is used for heading, subheading, body text, and button text is called Manrope. I decided on These two typefaces based on the Inspiration from the Logo of the Game.

Calistoga

“Calistoga is a cheerful, space-saving display typeface.”

I chose this typeface for the display because it gave me a very chill vibe. But it is also very playful with the soft round serifs. To make it even more playful I decided to make the display in pink. This matches the Logo more and brings character to the display. With the pink, the typeface has good readability on white and also on black backgrounds as seen in the Logo.

Manrope

“Manrope is an open-source modern sans-serif font family, designed by Mikhail Sharanda in 2018.”

Manrope is a typeface that is very simple and so modern and fresh. It also gives the opportunity of different fonts. In the heading I choosed Bold while the subheading is SemiBold and the body and button text is Regular.

The reasoning behind the chosen typefaces is on point 💯 That's one way to put it among many things: to match it with the logo and the whole vibe and explore from there. Nice work, Hauke Pütz!

The only downside is the presentation; it needs more work. Is it just me, or is the image rather blurry? It would be cool to give an example of how the typefaces are implemented in the UI.

Perhaps you could provide some context and links for inclusivity for a non-gamer or someone who isn't an avid gamer like me. I found out that 'Placid Plastic Duck Simulator' is a real game; I had to look it up, and it actually looks fun!
