The island of Fuerteventura is more known for its white sand beaches and windsurf-friendly constant winds than for its typographical marvels. Still, it's on the walls of a ballroom next to its white-sand beaches that Debora Manetti found the hand-painted sign that she took as inspiration for the design of this typeface.

The island of Fuerteventura is more known for its white sand beaches and windsurf-friendly constant winds than for its typographic marvels. Still, it's on the walls of a ballroom next to its white-sand beaches that Debora Manetti found the hand-painted letterforms that she took as inspiration for her typeface Sala de Fiestas. The resulting font was a condensed sans serif full of curious details and a jumpy latino vibe that many years after still keeps its freshness and vernacular charme.
Francesco Canovaro took the original typeface as a starting point for a grand tour into signpainter aesthetics, developing a reboot of the original into a new type family: Salad. While being faithful to the original proportions and feeling, Salad provides extreme versatility through its five-weights range, its extended charset and its set of Open Type features including stylistic sets, alternates, positional numerals, small capitals and case sensitive forms.
While the roman family with its italic counterpart provide a good workhorse tool for informal branding, packaging and editorial projects, the interlocking and the inline weights add additional possibilities for display purpouses. This is enriched by the inclusion in the typeface of a set hand-drawn decorative dingbats that further complement the signpainting vibe of the family. All Zetafonts expertise in handmade lettering, typographic design and water sports has been put to test to assure Salad is the best typographical alternative to a a trip to Canary Islands!

Leafy vegetables
IN COMMON PARLANCE, SALAD OFTEN REFERS TO THE SIMPLEST VARIANT OF THIS RECIPE, THE SO-CALLED GREEN SALAD, PREPARED ONLY WITH RAW LEAFY VEGETABLES WASHED WITH RUNNING WATER, SOAKING, RINSING OR USING SPECIAL CENTRIFUGES, USUALLY A VARIETY OF LETTUCE
The word "salad" derives in English from the French salade with the same meaning, in turn, a shortened form of the previous vulgar Latin 'herba salata' (salted vegetables), from the Latin 'salata' (salty), from 'sal' (salt). In English, the word first appears as "salad" or "sallet" in the 14th century. Salt is associated with salads because vegetables were seasoned with brine (a solution of salt in water) or salty dressings made from oil and vinegar in Roman times. The phrase "salad days", meaning "time of youthful inexperience" (based on the notion of "green"), is first recorded by Shakespeare in 1606, [1] while the use of salad bar, referring to a serving buffet of salad ingredients first appeared in American English in the 1960s.
