Viola, Jacqueline Barba Viola typeface is a sans serif, decorative typeface. Viola was first sketched out on paper, scanned in and re-created with the paintbrush tool on Adobe Illustrator. My first inspiration for this typeface came from the linear patterns you see when you cut an onion in half. I also looked through old children’s books for inspiration. Additional inspiration came from various illustrations of hair. I knew I wanted to use the little face character as a constant stroke in my alphabet. I researched Tim Burton cartoons and old Asian paintings. The Viola typeface has a calm and whimsical feeling. Spring 2012
