I released Dividente on January 31, 2025. It is a display typeface influenced by late 1960s design, especially the kind of lettering used in fashion branding and psychedelic posters. A memory of the old Pierre Cardin logo was the starting point, particularly its mix of square external shapes with soft, curved interiors. That contrast shaped the structure of Dividente, which features rectangular forms with softened corners and superelliptical internal curves.

The letter spacing is deliberately tight, echoing the compact setting common in mid-century magazine headlines and advertising layouts. While the style leans retro, I wasn’t aiming to recreate a single period; instead, I wanted to explore the overlap between geometric discipline and loose decorative form. I drew it modularly, which made it well suited for variable development.

Dividente was designed with static and variable formats in mind from the start. The family includes ten weights and three widths (Condensed, Normal, Expanded), along with obliques and broad Latin language support. The variable version offers four axes: weight, width, slant, and tension. The tension axis adjusts the degree of curve tightness—a feature possible because the font was constructed with parametric curves that allow the radius to be adjusted globally. Although not essential for everyday typesetting, it provides additional flexibility for users who want to experiment.
