Laude

Laude is a personal typographic project, a display font available for free. As a type lover, I wanted to create letters related to my birthplaces: it’d be kind of a gift for a place I’m proud to come from, Segovia.

After some research, I found several references at the Cathedral of Segovia: one of the latest gothic cathedrals from Europe, built between 1525 and 1577. There are many tombs inside the cathedral, and each tomb has lots of letters that tell about who is buried there. So I decided to base Laude on the sepulchral lauds of the seventeenth century of Cathedral of Segovia.

Finally, Bravo has been used:

• As part of the visual image of the festivity of San Frutos from Segovia in 2016, work by the illustrator Mónica Carretero.

• As a brand image of the liquor Bravo, which flavor is based on the most famous dessert of Segovia, the Ponche Segoviano.
