Influenced by vernacular grotesques sign-painting and modernist ideals, and inspired by the classy aestethic of fashion icon Coco Chanel, Coco is drawn on a classic geometric sans skeleton but applies humanist proportions and visual corrections to key letters with the aim to create a warmer, subtly vintage texture on the page and on the screen.

Coco Sharp is the newest evolution of the Coco typographic project, developed since 2013 by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini for the foundry Zetafonts, with the help of Francesco Canovaro and Andrea Tartarelli. Influenced by vernacular grotesques sign-painting and modernist ideals, and inspired by the classy aestethic of fashion icon Coco Chanel, Coco is drawn on a classic geometric sans skeleton but applies humanist proportions and visual corrections to key letters with the aim to create a warmer, subtly vintage texture on the page and on the screen.
Coco Sharp drops the rounded corners of previous incarnations (Coco Gothic and Cocogoose) to pair the typeface display and logo capability with a sharper definition for text use. As in the other Coco families, a wide range of alternate letterforms allows to express different historical moods, including elegant, quirky and unexpected designs able to transform a simple word in a memorable wordmark.
The other peculiarity of Coco Sharp lies in the wide choice of x-heights given to the user, both by providing a variable version and five graded sub-families, that allows designers to fine-control text readability and space usage. Large and Xlarge versions provide big and easily readable lowercase letters, perfect for small point size typesetting or bold copywriting; Small and Xsmall provide smaller lowercase letters with the elegant proportions of Futura and its modernist eponyms, optimized for display use or for adding a classy flare to body text; the Regular x-height offers a "one size fits all" solution that works both for texts and for display use.
Alle the 60 weights of Coco Sharp come with a full set of open type features allowing faultless typesetting thanks to small capitals, positional numbers & case sensitive forms. Use Coco Sharp out of the box as a solid workhorse family or enjoy discovering the limitless possibilities of its 2000+ latin, cyrillic and greek glyphs covering over 200 languages worldwide.

Only Style Remains
Towards a transfuturist aesthetic: vintage charm meets kaleidoscopic psychedelia and hedonistic fervor.
In the relentless march of sartorial evolution, the concept of elegance has undergone a kaleidoscopic metamorphosis, transmuting from the timeless sophistication epitomized by Coco Chanel into the avant-garde realms of transfuturist psychedelic vintage hedonism. This beguiling journey through fashion epochs and aesthetic paradigms not only reflects the malleability of elegance but also serves as a testament to the inexhaustible wellspring of creativity within the couture cosmos. Coco Chanel, a luminary whose influence reverberates through the annals of fashion history, bestowed upon the world a paradigm of elegance steeped in simplicity and practicality. Her aphoristic dictum, "Fashion fades, only style remains the same". Yet, as the cultural zeitgeist unfurls in a ceaseless dance, the tapestry of elegance finds itself woven with threads of surrealism, futurism, and hedonistic nostalgia. Drawing inspiration from Marshall McLuhan's prophetic musings on the interconnected global village, contemporary designers like Alexander McQueen have transcended the temporal constraints of bygone elegance. McQueen, an alchemist of the avant-garde, once remarked, "Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment." In this spirit, the transfuturist aesthetic unfolds—a mesmerizing tapestry where vintage charm intertwines with kaleidoscopic psychedelia and hedonistic fervor. Madonna, the perennial shape-shifter of pop culture, emerges as a muse in this transcendent narrative. Her chameleonic reinventions embody the ethos of transfuturist elegance—a celebration of individuality and a rejection of sartorial stagnation. In the realm of fashion, as in her iconic career, Madonna transcends temporal confines, embodying the very essence of a transformative, psychedelic vintage hedonism. In this era of sartorial synesthesia, elegance ceaselessly shape-shifts, drawing inspiration from the disparate yet harmonious notes of the past, present, and future. It is a visual symphony that defies linear chronology, paying homage to the wisdom of Chanel, the avant-garde visions of McQueen, and the cultural transcendence of Madonna. As the transfuturist tapestry unfolds, elegance becomes a dynamic, ever-evolving entity—an exquisite dance between tradition and innovation, where the threads of time converge in a symphony of hedonistic elegance.
